Life First Then Work

Turning workplace mental health from a hidden cost into a business advantage.

People. Productivity. Profit.

Welcome

If you’ve scanned my card or found this page through a recommendation, thanks for taking the time.

I’ve been the employee, the leader and the person struggling. That’s why this isn’t box-ticking. It’s practical support that makes culture safer, conversations easier and workplaces stronger. Protecting people, performance and profit.

What we do

hree core services designed to start conversations, equip your workforce, and embed practical everyday frameworks. We provide targeted sessions, leadership training, and bespoke materials where needed.

  • Lived-experience talks
    Real, honest storytelling that gets people talking. Powerful sessions that open up conversations, build trust, reduce stigma, and make it easier for staff to recognize workplace pressure and burnout.

  • Support Circle® peer support programme
    A structured, peer-led training framework that makes mental health visible, safe, and proactive rather than hidden. Available as a self-delivered toolkit framework or a fully supported train-the-trainer programme.

  • Interactive mental health awareness workshops
    Practical learning that strengthens teams and leaders. Tailored sessions covering the mental load, early conversations, leadership behaviours, and strategic culture alignment to integrate mental health directly into business performance.

Why it works

  • Built on lived experience , understanding what actually helps and why people don’t use the support already available

  • Practical systems that connect people to each other and to HR, EAP and internal processes, making support visible, accessible and trusted

  • Creates safer, honest environments where conversations happen earlier and problems don’t escalate

  • Stronger culture protects people and reduces hidden cost, risk and turnover improving performance and profit
