Impactful leaders build cultures of trust and psychological safety
90% of adults experienced high or extreme stress in 2023
20% of those people needed time off to cope. And line managers aren’t immune; 60% feel stressed at work with 40% facing severe anxiety and depression.
This is not just a human issue, it’s a business threat too.
Axa estimate that poor workplace mind health cost the UK economy £102 billion in 2023 (global cost was £2.1 trillion!). Many teams operate in low-trust environments without the psychological safety to speak up and get support. Managers are squeezed as they balance their priorities with team needs and demands of senior leadership.
Nobody wins. But we can make work better.
I can help you.

How I work
Throughout our partnership, I’ll be high impact and human-first. I take the time to understand your distinct goals and context, enabling me to build trust and rapport with your teams.
I aim to inspire and educate, leaving everyone better equipped to develop positive mind health habits.
But I also set clear boundaries. I’m not a medical professional, so I direct anyone in need of help to the The Hub of Hope.
