Mental Health Coaching

Creating spaces that empower and change the way we feel about Mental Health

Its OK, Not to be OK

We know that people are not one dimensional. Their emotions, talents, skills, and idiosyncrasies are what make them unique.

We want to take this acceptance one step further and challenge the stigma mental health brings, allowing the idea “it’s ok not to be ok” to be part of everyday life.

Working with organisations, we will deliver a holistic model into the workplace that will transform wellbeing and create a healthier, happier and more productive environment.

Mental Health in the Workplace

Creating a safe space we empower people to talk openly and freely in a way that they haven’t felt comfortable to do before. Investing in mental health and acknowledging the value it brings to the individual and workplace is crucial to overall wellbeing.

We run individual employee-led coaching sessions as well as organisation sessions, which explore coaching for equality and non-discriminatory, stigma and impact and cultural/organisational patterns and behaviour.

Science Based Coaching

Coaching is so much more than just talking. It is the creation of asking the right thought provoking questions to enable the client to think and explore themselves to discover other ways to achieve their goals. Using science-based tools, such as DISC, EQ-I and 360 feedback, we combine the latest research with our coaching to effect transformational and measurable results.
