EMOTIONAL & MENTAL HEALTH TRAINING 

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 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.

Human-Centred Resilience: Preventative & Integrative Training for Corporate & Community Wellness


My Corporate & Community training is grounded in whole-person wellness, combining emotional and mental health awareness with preventative strategies and embodied practices that reconnect people to their bodies, their emotions, and each other.


While the core aim is to prevent illness—by recognising early signs of emotional, physical, and relational imbalance—the training also fully acknowledges that many people are already living with health challenges. With this in mind, it includes compassionate guidance on how to support others experiencing difficulties and distress, and helps participants understand a wide range of support options, including both clinical and alternative approaches and tools.


Participants are supported to:

  • Reconnect with themselves as sources of healing, insight, and resilience
  • Use tools like mindfulness, breathwork, grounding, meditation, movement, reflective journaling, creative expression, alongside emotional check-ins to build a toolbox of personal wellbeing practices
  • Identify early warning signs of burnout, overwhelm, or emotional shutdown in themselves and others
  • Respond to distress with empathy and clarity, without taking on what isn’t theirs
  • Explore routes of support including NHS, Employee Assistance Programmes, community-based services, and complementary therapies such as coaching, reiki, sound therapy, somatic practices, and mindfulness


This is more than mental health awareness—it’s a experienced, culturally-sensitive, and human-centred education designed to support:

  • Emotionally literate teams and leaders
  • More boundaried relationships in workplace and community settings
  • Long-term recovery and resilience for individuals and communities


Together, we build environments that can respond to all needs, with a foundation built upon creating the best conditions for health, belonging, and meaningful connection—at work and beyond.

Your Safety Comes First

The most important thing is to stay safe, whatever that means for you. If you are helping someone else, ensure that you are not at risk of any harm. If you feel there is a risk to yourself when assisting someone, please put yourself first—just like on an aeroplane when you're advised to put on your own oxygen mask before helping others in an emergency. As an individual seeking help, please prioritise your and your children’s safety by contacting the right person at the right time.
