Our approach 

  • At Minds That Work, I don't believe in mental health or training tickbox exercises. I work with you to devise the best strategy and delivery according to your specific needs and context.

    I help define where you are, where you want to get to, and then devise how I can best support your desired outcomes - whether it's something completely new, or tailored to fit with your existing programmes.

    It may be that you want to begin to build awareness, or you may be moving on to develop a deeper culture change and knowledge of the issues.

    Perhaps you need to deliver meaningful improvements following feedback from an employee survey, or you may want to upskill leaders and managers to gain confidence so that they can instigate genuine and sustainable change, empowering them to make a difference to your workplace and team cultures.

    Wherever you are in your psychological safety journey, I want to work with you to create robust strategies and training progammes to promote positive ongoing wellbeing for everyone.

  • All of my training seeks to create a safe environment where everyone is treated with warmth, understanding, compassion and respect.

    Key elements of the training focus on developing a growth mindset, enhancing social and emotional intelligence and regulation, as well as nurturing self awareness, compassion, connection and resilience.

    I cover issues such as mental health prevention, recognising the signs of stress and burnout, how to support a colleague in a crisis, and how to tackle stigma and discrimination wrapped up in compassionate leadership.

    I also seek to improve understanding of human psychology and development, as well as the relationship of societal and individual growth and life experience. I believe this helps employees to better understand themselves and others, what they are going through, and to lead and interact more supportively and effectively in the workplace.

    My aim is to inspire hope and thoughtfulness and provide pragmatic guidance and steps to find ways forward on key wellbeing and workplace culture issues.

    I also have the added value of a wide range of practical and tailored resources built up over many years.

Our four step process

We get to know you

1) Getting to know you

I work with you to understand your unique workplace needs and challenges so that I can tailor my services to provide the best fit and outcomes. 

2) Clarifying your offer

Based on what I learn from you, and any needs analysis you may want, I set out a tailored programme of wellbeing training that will most benefit your employee and workplace culture, needs, and ambitions.

We support action

3) Supporting action

I support your drives to improve workplace wellbeing through bespoke, evidence-based and fit-for-purpose training - be it one session or a whole programme. 

The training aims to engage, challenge and inspire participants so that they come away better informed, and able to take appropriate steps to support their own, or others' wellbeing needs.

we prove value

4) Proving value

I want the training to have meaning and make a difference.

By providing impact and feedback reports for all of my sessions, taking on any insights to inform our ongoing approach and to ensure maximum engagement and impact.

What my training participants say

  • "I found it incredibly thought provoking and informative - it was both challenging and thoroughly enjoyable too. There is so much material which is brilliant to have now and to dip into and digest more fully again."

  • "Fantastic structure of the course with a great balance between individual learning and interactive exercises."

  • "It was incredibly valuable and I can't recommend the course more highly. I think it is life changing."

  • "The course was excellent from start to finish, including all the administrative side of things, the course materials, the interaction with other delegates and, of course, the instructor."

  • "This course has completely changed my working approach. I have more energy, feel less stressed, and have improved my focus and performance.”

  • "I feel that I have so much more knowledge now than before and am definitely interested in finding out more about other courses."

  • "I have gained so much from the 4 weeks, and having the manual to refer back to refresh my memory if and when needed is so helpful. Thank you"

  • This course was fantastic. Not only have a learnt much more about mental health illnesses and how to help someone facing a crisis, I feel much more confident in assisting."

  • "I really enjoyed the group learning and hearing other people's experiences and answers to questions and case studies."

  • An extremely worthwhile course which has given me a better understanding of issues that people may face, resources available and how to assist and sign-post people."

  • "I would highly recommend this course to others as it has taught me a lot and really widened my knowledge of how to speak with others, and more importantly how to listen to someone who is asking for help."

  • The format works well in terms of bringing people together from different parts of the company - such a valuable experience in itself - especially after lockdowns and as so many of us are still working remotely."
