LET'S GET TO THE ROOT, NOT JUST PICK THE FRUIT.

We must work collaboratively across mainstream healthcare and holistic medicines to truly support people better.

As a Holistic Health Practitioner, Mentor and Trainer with a background in mental health nursing, I incorporate all of my nursing and counselling skills into my practice to provide individuals with a secure and empathetic space to explore their emotions and experiences. Drawing from my experience as a NHS mental health nurse, I utilize active listening, empathy, and non-judgmental support to help individuals navigate their mental health challenges. By integrating counselling techniques into my practice sessions, I empower individuals to delve deeper into their thoughts and feelings, facilitating meaningful insights and personal growth.

In my work with corporate or public sector businesses, I apply counselling skills to facilitate open and honest discussions around mental health in the workplace. Through training programs tailored to the specific needs of each organization, I create opportunities for employees to share their experiences, concerns, and struggles in a supportive environment. By fostering a culture of openness and vulnerability, I enable organizations to address mental health issues proactively, reducing stigma and promoting understanding among colleagues.

All of my experience helps me to bridge the gap between mainstream healthcare and holistic wellness, offering individuals and organizations a comprehensive approach to mental well-being. Whether working one-on-one with clients or delivering training sessions to businesses, my goal remains the same: to empower individuals to embrace their mental health journey with courage, compassion, and resilience.

Ethics are high on my list priorities, as well as a protective and private space for people to express themselves and rediscover how we should live individually and in community.

CONSULTANCY & TRAINING

Throughout my professional mental health work I have delivered training and psychoeducation to clients, families, clinical teams and more recently corporate teams, about what mental health and wellbeing is, how to recognise those who are vulnerable to mental health problems, offer ethical and consent focussed support to these individuals and know how and where to access support with them. I have also facilitated structured support groups for clients with serious mental health problems, as a form of preventative support and crisis management.

Their are gaps in acknowledgement and comprehension of mental health challenges across health, education, local authority, parent and teacher associations, parent and family groups, charities, and businesses of all variations, especially when it comes to the oppressive means of measuring illness and health for black, mixed or dual heritage, and global majority folk. These gaps need to be supported with professional expertise to improve understanding the trajectory of emotional competence and mental wellbeing of individuals, which effect the current generation and those who follow. Funding and budgets should not be used an excuse for something as basic as acknowledging the issues we face as a multi-cultural and diverse conscious community, and my role is to support people to recognise patterns and access the support they need without the red tape dividing us. 

My offer is to provide webinars, bespoke training, structured programmes, consultation for individual or groups of holistic and registered practitioners or therapists, as well as businesses of all shapes and sizes. My aim is to support better recognition and improved conversations about emotions and mental wellness, and help individuals access the right mental health support when this is needed.
