About Sarah

Hello, my name is Sarah, and I am a Wellbeing Trainer based in Yorkshire. Thank you for calling by my site. I offer bespoke mental health courses for the workplace, and I am also a Licensed Instructor for Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) England.  I have been delivering MHFA England training over the last 7 years, and I am very proud to represent the leading MHFA provider in England, an organisation established and trusted for its robust and research-based training programmes.

I offer the two-day course in Youth  Mental Health First Aid England training, and also the new refresher course.  This provides participants with the skills and confidence to give mental health first aid to anyone aged 8-18 years. My training suite at Nostell Priory has been carefully designed to create a nurturing environment to undertake learning around mental health and emotional well-being. The grounds at Nostell Priory are perfect for us to step outside and take in nature, which is one of the best ways to help us feel good.

I deliver face-to-face training only, as I believe this is the best modality for this kind of training. My clients often return to Nostell Priory to undertake further training with me, knowing that they will receive a high-quality training course and a warm welcome guaranteed.

Who we have
worked with

  • I was so pleased I chose this course

    I read through about 20 different SMHL training programmes the reason I was attracted to this was because it was local to Wakefield and with it being a face to face programme I felt that it was more personal. I was so pleased I chose this course the trainers have fantastic knowledge and experience with mental health both in a school and out of school. The support we have been given has been amazing. I would definitely recommend this course.

    How we helped

  • This course has been the best course I have been on in over 20 years of teaching

    This course has been the best course I have been on in over 20 years of teaching. The relaxed style of learning needs to be the way forward for all training. The environment contributed to this and the ‘treasures’ in the room at Nostell Priory! I feel like I am a better person and I feel more able to help others by signposting them to where they can get help or support. I met wonderful people in the group – the trainers and the other participants who all shared their passion and enthusiasm for wellbeing, which is so important and inspirational for us all thankyou SHS!

    How we helped

  • Sarah has attended today and produced her 3-hour input in her usual first class manner

    Sarah has attended today and produced her 3-hour input in her usual first class manner that she normally does for West Yorkshire Police Crime Training. The feedback I have received from some of the learners is that the input is the best that they have ever seen. Sarah, your passion, commitment, enthusiasm, is a pleasure to see and work alongside. Thank you Sarah.

    J Moore, West Yorkshire Police Crime Training
