thriving people, thriving organisations
Services offered
I'd love to work with you, whether you're an interested individual or a small to medium organisation. If we're working one to one you could benefit from a wellbeing conversation and/or some of the tools I work with. If you're an organisation you may find any, or all, of my service offerings helpful. We can look at what's most helpful for where you are.
Basically, it's what you need it to be.
You may feel that you're not really thriving at the moment - may be feeling that life is all a bit much, that it should be a bit easier to navigate. Or perhaps you're far from flourishing - feeling tired a lot or stressed more than you want to be. You could simply be finding it hard to start or stick to new healthy habits. Or maybe you're being proactive and want to maximise your ability to live well, feel resilient, and have a bit more joy or contentment in your life.
A wellbeing conversation is a chance to chat one to one about what's happening for you and be supported to explore that, hopefully discovering some simple steps that could help you achieve your wellbeing goals. Drawing on scientifically proven tools and practices, many from the field of Positive Psychology, you'll have the opportunity to get greater insights and practical ways to see positive change.
Depending on what's going on for you, one session may be all you need, or you may need/want to take more time to properly understand where you're at and how to move forward.
Please note, these are not counselling or pyschotherapy sessions. If I think you may benefit more from some professional help I'll signpost you to some more appropriate sources of help.
Anyone could benefit from a wellbeing conversation.
You might be in paid work or not, any age, any situation. You may be seeking one as something you're doing for you, or be referred by your employer.
As long as you are interested in thriving and open to exploring what this looks like in your life wellbeing conversations are for you.
I offer a free 20 minute discovery call (zoom or phone) so you can find out anything you want to know before committing. It's also a chance for me to understand what you want to get out of our conversation, to ensure that I can help and so that I can prepare for our conversation.
If you opt to book in for a conversation I charge from £38.00 for a minimum of 60 minutes, held over Zoom or Skype, and from £45.00 for a minimum 60 minutes conversation if we meet in person (only possible if you live within a 15 mile radius of Runcorn).
As a firm believer in the importance of wellbeing I am keen that finances are not a barrier to getting some support. If you will struggle to pay the full price please do have a conversation with me, as I may have some capacity to offer reduced pricing in certain circumstances.
Please email me with your details and a brief message about what you're hoping for and I'll contact you within 2 working days to set up your free discovery call.
For anyone who wants to explore and develop their ability to thrive and also available to organisations who want to offer more one to one support to team members.
Wellbeing conversations
Organisational support
Organisations have a critical role to play in supporting the wellbeing of their people. And doing so benefits both the organisation and the individuals.
Working with you to find out exactly what is needed, no more and no less, I can help with:
Insight/
Diagnostics
Whether through meaningful conversations, staff surveys, employee focus groups or policy and practice reviews, I can offer perspectives on how the organisation, and your team, is doing. Offering recommendations that are realistic as to how things might be tweaked to maximise support for your peoples' wellbeing.
Empower
your People
Understanding what wellbeing is, why it's important, and the things that we may like to try to improve our wellbeing can be hugely helpful for individuals. We all need to take responsibility for our own wellbeing. Through workshops, team meeting sessions, bespoke guides and reference documents, I can help you empower and encourage your teams to support their own thriving.
Facilitate
Wellbeing
Organisations impact the wellbeing of those that work within them. And this impact doesn't have to be negative!
It may be as small as needing a couple of new policies implementing or that there are some more significant changes to how you manage people and operate to consider. Either way, I can help you find manageable improvements and solutions.
If you're a non-profit thinking that wellbeing support is an unaffordable luxury, please do contact me for a chat. I'm committed to offering the best costs I can to make wellbeing support affordable and would love to see if we can make it work.

As an accredited Strengthscope® practioner I offer individuals and teams the opportunity for some personal development in identifying and utilising their unique pattern of strengths.
Wellbeing is about thriving, flourishing - seeking to be our best selves. This includes managing stress and pressure more effectively, encouraging positive emotions and nurturing healthy relationships.
We all have strengths, things that we are good at and come more naturally to us. When we understand and use these strengths more we are likely to be more engaged, more productive, building healthy relationships, and generally being our best selves.
In a workplace context a strengths based approach can reduce stress, increase performance, significantly increase employee engagement and improve how we work with others.
Strengthscope® is a strengths based organisation that draws from positive psychology in the workplace.
It focuses conversations on unique strengths, rather than categorised preferences or behaviours. It doesn't label you or box you in! Removing judgement and no gender, race or age bias, this is a really positive and helpful tool to work with.
Their pyschometric tool identifies your unique strengths, helping to accurately discover strengths in a memorable, practical way. This tool is the only strengths-based tool in the world to receive British Psychological Society registered status, meaning it is the most valid and reliable available today.
Everyone! Whether you're in work, re-thinking your future direction, looking to achieve personal goals or simply want to explore how strengths can work better for you, having a Strengthscope session can help you.
For organisations it can form part of your personal development offering to your people or you may want to use it to help teams develop greater understanding and increased teamworking.The Strengthscope process is very simple.

From here you'll be able to access your Strengthscope, which will take you about 25mins to complete (plus a further 10mins if you're doing the 360° version). You'll have an agreed window of time to complete this.
We'll arrange our online debrief session for when your report is available.
The whole process usually takes 1-2 weeks for a standard Strengthscope and 3-4 weeks for a Strengthscope 360°
A standard Strengthscope costs £145.00 (includes £55.00 + VAT for the report, admin fee and a 90 minute debriefing session)

Psychometric tools
Understand your resilience characteristics or those of individuals in your team with this assessment from BeTalent.
Resilience is about our ability to cope with the challenges of life, how we bounce back, learn and grow from them and the stressors we encounter.
When we are more resilient we can better navigate life. We recover more quickly from setbacks. This reduces the amount of stress we experience, we are more likely to have good mental wellbeing and avoid burnout.
Fortunately, we can improve our resilience, thanks to neuroplasticity. This begins when we start to understand our existing resilience strengths, and how to develop them.The BeTalent Resilience card sort exercise and questionnaire were scientifically researched and designed to understand how people operate under pressure, their derailers and how to develop coping strategies for success, protect against stress and prevent burnout.
By using BeTalent Resilience you can…
Assess the resilient strengths of individuals
Understand both the resilient strengths and risks of individuals and learn how resilience is impacted by personal attributes, self-belief, courage, positivity and confidence.
Reveal the likely causes of derailment
Better understand the stress responses of team members to reveal what might derail someone under pressure and highlight potential risks.
Tailor support to suit individuals
Consider the scenarios that cause resilience erosion in your organisation to provide individuals with effective coping mechanisms and support at the right times.
This is a tool for anyone who wants to understand and build their resilience.
For organisations it can form part of your personal development offering to your people or you may want to use it to help teams to work better together, through understanding each person's resilient strengths, how to support them in those, and understand what might derail individuals, and therefore the team.Users complete a secure 15-minute online questionnaire via email invitation.
Once completed you'll receive a full interpretive report and debrief session with me.
Depending on our mutual availability the whole process usually takes 1-2 weeks.
Bespoke timelines to be agreed for working with a team.

Psychometric tools
Understand how individuals feel and see if the environment encourages psychological safety with this assessment from BeTalent.
When Psychological Safety is high, you and/or your team are more likely to experience higher levels of job satisfaction, engagement and overall mental wellbeing.
Where it is low it increases stress levels, reduces learning from mistakes and effectiveness, damages social relationships - all of which contribute in myriad ways to poor wellbeing.
It's particularly important for fostering inclusion with diverse teams, where some team members may feel more vulnerable due to being in a minority of some kind.
A diagnostic assessment to learn how individuals feel and to see if the environment and climate encourage psychological safety.
Reveal the Level of Psychological Safety
Assess how safe people feel when speaking up and sharing ideas, challenging the status quo, making decisions, reporting errors and mistakes.
Diagnose the Psychological Safety of Teams
Diagnose the environment and climate of psychological safety at a team level, across teams and throughout the whole organisation.
Link Psychologically Safety to Culture and Climate
Understand the broader implications of the environment and climate of psychological safety at a team level, across teams on ways of working across an organisation.
This is a tool for anyone who wants to understand their own or their team's level of psychological safety, and to receive support for how to increase psychological safety.
The BeTalent Psychological Safety questionnaire was scientifically researched and designed to understand how prepared people feel within their organisation or team to speak up, challenge, ask questions or innovate and to explore the steps you can take to increase the environment of psychological safety.Users complete a secure 15-minute online questionnaire via email invitation.
Once completed you'll receive a full interpretive report and debrief session with me.
