​

Mental health issues are a leading cause of sickness absence in the UK, with poor mental health costing employers an estimated £51 billion in 2023–24 due to absenteeism, presenteeism, and staff turnover . This highlights the urgent need for organisations to prioritise mental health and wellbeing to sustain productivity and reduce financial strain.

​

I am a senior wellbeing and mental health consultant with over 20 years of experience supporting organisations across high-pressure, people-focused sectors. I  help build mentally healthy, resilient workplaces by supporting leadership teams, developing psychologically safe cultures, and designing evidence-based wellbeing strategies.

​

My work spans clinical case oversight, leadership coaching, resilience-building programmes, and organisational policy development. I collaborate

closely with senior leaders, HR teams, and operational managers to ensure mental health and wellbeing are embedded at every level of the organisation—from boardroom to frontline.
