Description

I help organisations build healthier, high-performing cultures through strategic wellbeing consultancy, 1:1 coaching, and MHFA training. With 20+ years of experience, I’ve worked with NHS Trusts, Zurich, PepsiCo, Shelter, The FA, professional footballers, MPs, and universities across the UK. I’ve also delivered transformative work within theatres, charities, and creative spaces — blending emotional intelligence with real-world strategy.

I support leaders and teams through burnout, pressure, and change, offering bespoke resilience programmes that drive engagement, wellbeing, and results. Whether in the boardroom or the community, I bring insight, authenticity, and heart to every conversation.

BBC Radio Sheffield
Interview
HEALTH AND WELLNESS
August 2018 - August 2018
Sheffield, United Kingdom
In August 2018, I was invited to BBC Radio Sheffield for a live interview with Rony Robinson, where I shared expert insights on mental health, workplace wellbeing, and my personal journey into the field. We discussed the growing pressures people face in today’s fast-paced world, why I’m passionate about helping others prevent burnout, and how lived experience has shaped my approach.

The conversation covered practical strategies for emotional resilience, community wellbeing, and why mental health support should be accessible, proactive, and stigma-free. It was a great opportunity to raise awareness and encourage open, authentic dialogue around wellbeing — a value I continue to champion in all my work.

For over 8 years, I’ve proudly volunteered as a Business Mentor with The King’s Trust (formerly The Prince’s Trust), supporting young adults from diverse backgrounds to turn their ideas into viable businesses. I offer practical guidance on everything from business planning and marketing to confidence-building and long-term strategy.

My role involves one-to-one mentoring, coaching, and helping mentees develop the mindset and skills needed to thrive as entrepreneurs. Many have gone on to build successful businesses, gain financial independence, and inspire others in their communities.
