“I engaged Tom to deliver some coaching for myself and a colleague, after hearing him talk about the concept of self-compassion on a HR podcast.
Working in a busy HR team, we often find we prioritise the needs of our business and colleagues over our own wellbeing. Tom quickly equipped us with the tools and concepts to allow us to take a breath and look after ourselves, without this feeling self-indulgent.
Tom immediately put us at ease and created a safe environment for us to have open and honest conversations.
He is very understanding, and his ability to speak from personal experience only added to his credibility and kindness.
It was a pleasure to work with him, and we look forward to engaging with him in the future. I would definitely recommend him to others”.

Hi, I'm Tom
Whether you’re looking for workshops, training or a wellbeing strategy for your organisation, or some individual 1:1 support, I look forward to finding out how I can help you.
You’ll find I’m passionate about mental health, wellbeing, personal development & empowering others.
My style is friendly, accessible and professional, combining lived experience, professional knowledge, & high quality teaching and training skills.
After extensive experience within Business, Education, Leadership & Psychology I set up my own business to support people with wellbeing, personal development and mental health.
As a lifelong learner and educator, I work with individuals & organisations to increase awareness of these topics, working to embed both individual and team skills that help safeguard people’s wellbeing, prevent future problems and enable them to thrive.
Wellbeing & Mindfulness are topics which intrigue many people, but there is a lot of either low quality or repetitive information floating around about them - If you're looking for a more engaging, different, real-life introduction to what they are and how they can make our lives and work better, that's what I offer.
My background as an education specialist and school leader enables me to engage an audience and deliver key learning points in a very accessible way.
I've delivered interesting and engaging talks to many different groups of people in a variety of settings, always with great feedback. Group sizes range from 5-500 people. I am highly experienced at online Zoom delivery, having delivered hundreds of hours of workshops and talks with feedback such as:
“Best virtual course I’ve been in so far”
“ You are a true wellbeing specialist and a very good speaker! We really appreciate the time you spent with us this afternoon. I cannot recommend you enough to those who could also benefit from your very valuable knowledge. Thank you again!”
If you have any questions I'm always more than happy to answer them, just get in touch and let me know. I look forward to hearing from you and putting together a talk that both engages and genuinely helps your team.
