First Aid Training
We've successfully trained clients from:
Mental health and wellbeing are top of the corporate agenda for a reason. In the USA, mental health initiatives see a return of $4 for every $1 spent – with the average cost of unsupported mental health in the UK consuming 99 million sick days, at a cost of £1,300 per employee and £36billion to the UK economy – per year. That’s £130k a year for 100 employees. We have successfully trained managers and their teams across multiple organisations and industries, creating and developing more effective cultures which optimise wellbeing and productivity across the board. We can help you achieve the same.

How sessions work?
THE 3-STEP APPROACH
UNDERSTAND
I spend time getting clear on corporate pain points and strategic goals so I can bespoke my training to optimise organisational effectiveness. I work across a range of industries from construction, law and finance to property and the public sector and find leveraging coaching, counselling, creative and commercial skills make for optimum engagement and results.
CREATE
I create safe, fun and inspiring workshops where attendees feel comfortable collaborating with one another. I thrive building relationships with people across all industries with a plethora of challenges and have cracked the code for achieving maximum engagement, transformation and growth. My interactive style is key to my success.
TRANSFORM
I teach expert-designed content in a dynamic, interactive and fun style that empowers and transforms. Live practise of easy to use toolkits embeds learning while group work and collaborative workshop style empowers attendees to practise newly-won superpowers in their daily lives to maximise transformation and results.

What clients say
WHY WORK WITH ME?
As a lawyer turned Success Coach and Corporate Wellbeing Trainer, I’m a commercial creative hybrid with a dynamic, interactive style that makes for high levels of facilitation rather than one way teaching. A trained telephone counsellor and NLP Practitioner, my approach is integrative and highly bespoke, tailoring my expertise to your professional development needs. I work across a variety of industries from law, finance, insurance and higher education to the public sector, third sector and prisons with a wide range of attendees from PAs, trainees and apprentices to associates, managers and partners. I have found that maximum stakeholder engagement optimises whole organisational change. Though my workshops centre on wellbeing, they cross a variety of areas key to organisational effectiveness from communication, performance and teamwork to strategy, growth and leadership, cutting through the corporate mask to get to the root of what motivates employees to perform best.
WHAT ELSE?
My passion for coaching stems from diverse life experience which has seen me navigate (not always bright and breezily, I might add) different countries, corporate environments, challenges and adventures from property, PR, law and higher education to South America, Madrid, Chamonix and beyond. What I can safely say I’ve learnt along the way is what lies beneath true happiness, how fulfilment really works and – more importantly – how I can help you get there – your version of it, your way. Because no matter how different we may seem, we all operate within a similar framework of happiness. We’re frustrated when we live our lives at odds with our values + we’re inspired when we learn what makes us tick. Once we identify what drives us and we reshape our daily lives in accordance with our values, life becomes a lot less stressful and a lot more fulfilling.
