Workplace Wellbeing

Emotional Resilience at Work

Meaningful wellbeing support that helps people understand themselves, manage pressure and develop practical skills they can use in everyday life.

When people are under sustained pressure, it can affect far more than how they feel. Confidence can dip, communication can become more difficult, people can struggle to switch off and everyday challenges can begin to feel harder to manage.

Supporting wellbeing isn't simply about giving people a few tips and sending them back to their desks. Meaningful change takes time, practice and repetition.

I work with businesses and organisations to provide tailored emotional resilience support that gives people the opportunity to learn practical skills, practise them over time and build greater confidence in using them.

Available in person across Kent and London, and online throughout the UK.

For Workplaces

Why ongoing support?

A one-off workshop can introduce a useful idea or technique, but meaningful change rarely happens in a single session.

Just as you wouldn't expect to go to the gym once and suddenly build strength, emotional resilience develops through repetition. A programme gives people time to learn, practise, reflect and build on what they've learned.

It also allows us to develop familiarity and trust. As people become more comfortable with the process, they may feel more able to explore the thoughts, patterns and responses that can sit underneath the difficulties they're experiencing.

My programmes are therefore usually delivered over four or six weeks, depending on the needs of the organisation and the people taking part.

The content is tailored rather than following a fixed formula.

Understand

Develop greater awareness of how thoughts, emotions, stress and pressure can affect the way we respond.

Practise

Learn practical techniques and have opportunities to use them between sessions.

Build

Develop greater confidence, self-awareness and emotional resilience through continued practice.

From Learning to Meaningful Change

Supporting your people to manage pressure and develop practical emotional wellbeing skills.

I work with businesses, HR and wellbeing leads, people managers and organisations that want to offer their employees meaningful support around emotional wellbeing.

Programmes can be tailored around the needs of your organisation and may explore areas such as:

  • Managing stress and pressure
  • Anxiety and emotional regulation
  • Overthinking and switching off
  • Confidence and self-belief
  • Setting clearer boundaries
  • Managing change and uncertainty
  • Building emotional resilience
  • Developing practical strategies for difficult moments

The aim isn't to tell people how they should feel or what they should do. It's to give them the understanding, skills and space to develop their own ways of responding more effectively.

Bespoke 4 or 6-week programmes

Each programme is shaped around your organisation, your people and what you want to achieve.

Sessions can include education, discussion, reflection and practical techniques, with opportunities to practise between sessions and build on the learning each week.

For Schools

Supporting the Emotional Resilience of Students and Staff

Practical, meaningful wellbeing support for the people who make up your school community.

Schools are supporting people who are managing significant pressure, whether that's students navigating exams, friendships or confidence issues, or staff balancing demanding workloads, responsibility and the emotional needs of their students.

My work with schools can support both students and staff, with programmes and sessions tailored to the needs of each group.

For Students

Helping young people develop the understanding and practical tools to manage pressure, emotions and everyday challenges.

School can bring significant emotional and academic pressure. Students may be dealing with exams, anxiety, confidence difficulties, friendship issues, expectations and the many challenges of growing up.

I work with secondary schools to provide supportive, age-appropriate emotional resilience sessions that give young people practical techniques they can use both in and beyond school.

Programmes can explore:

  • Exam stress and anxiety
  • Managing pressure
  • Confidence and self-belief
  • Emotional regulation
  • Overthinking and difficult thoughts
  • Practical EFT and emotional wellbeing techniques
  • Developing skills students can use independently

For Staff

Supporting teachers and school leaders to manage pressure, build confidence and look after their own wellbeing.

The demands placed on teachers and school leaders can be considerable. Alongside teaching and leadership responsibilities, there is often the emotional load of supporting students, managing competing demands and feeling responsible for getting things right.

Through my private practice, I work with teachers and principals experiencing challenges such as confidence difficulties, imposter syndrome, burnout, overworking, difficulty switching off and feeling overwhelmed by the demands they carry.

I can bring this experience into school-based wellbeing support, creating a confidential and supportive space for staff to develop greater awareness of their own responses, learn practical tools and build emotional resilience.

Staff programmes can explore areas such as:

  • Managing stress and pressure
  • Confidence and imposter syndrome
  • Overworking and difficulty switching off
  • Boundaries and saying no
  • Emotional resilience
  • Managing overthinking and worry
  • Confidence in leadership and decision-making
  • Practical techniques for managing difficult moments

The aim isn't to add another thing to an already busy workload. It's to give staff practical tools and space to reflect, helping them feel better equipped to manage the pressures they face.

Programmes, Workshops and Talks

Where deeper development is the aim, I offer four or six-week programmes, giving students or staff the opportunity to build familiarity with the techniques, practise between sessions and develop their skills over time.

I also provide individual workshops, lectures, assemblies and other one-off sessions where these are more appropriate for the school's needs.

Whether you're looking to support students, staff or both, we can create a programme around the needs of your school.

DISCUSS SUPPORT FOR YOUR SCHOOL

Practical, educational and thought-provoking

My sessions are designed to be engaging and accessible while still having depth.

I don't deliver a fixed presentation and expect it to work for everyone. I take time to understand what the organisation is looking for and tailor the content accordingly.

Feedback from a recent workplace workshop described it as:
“Educational and thought-provoking.”
At Weald of Kent Grammar School, feedback following a lecture included:
“I have had lots of positive feedback from staff and students. They really enjoyed it and it’s generated lots of discussion.”

The school subsequently invited me to return and deliver the session to another group of students.

Trusted by local organisations

I've delivered wellbeing and emotional resilience sessions for organisations including:

  • ConwaySevenoaks
  • Oliver Marketing GroupLondon
  • Edgbaston High SchoolBirmingham
  • Weald of Kent Grammar SchoolTonbridge
A recent workplace session received this feedback:
“It was lovely to meet you on Wednesday, you are doing some amazing work! I have passed on your email and information to the other ladies in our office and they are all very grateful.”
And from a Diversity & Inclusion Manager:
“The feedback we have received has been very positive. The workshop was exactly what we were looking for - educational and thought-provoking. I am so pleased you were recommended!”

Why work with me?

I'm an Advanced Clinical Hypnotherapist with over 20 years' experience working with people and six years in private practice, supporting adults and young people with anxiety, stress, confidence difficulties and emotional overwhelm.

I bring this therapeutic experience into my work with organisations, while keeping sessions appropriate, practical and accessible for the people taking part.

My approach is warm, professional and highly personalised. I take time to understand the needs of the organisation and the people I'm supporting, then draw on the approaches and techniques that are most appropriate.

I've worked with local businesses and schools and understand the importance of creating sessions where people feel comfortable participating, reflecting and asking questions.

Looking for a one-off session?

A longer programme isn't always the right starting point.

I also offer bespoke wellbeing workshops, talks, lectures and assemblies for organisations looking for a single session, wellbeing day, staff event or introduction to a particular topic.

These can be tailored to your audience and may focus on emotional resilience, managing pressure, confidence, anxiety, stress or other areas of wellbeing.

If a one-off session highlights a need for further support, we can explore what a longer programme could look like.

Let's talk about what your organisation needs

Every organisation is different, so the first step is simply a conversation.

A discovery call gives us the opportunity to talk about who you're looking to support, what you're noticing and what you'd like to achieve. From there, we can explore whether a tailored programme, workshop or talk would be the right fit.
