Mental Health Speaker
Public Speaking for Wellness and Mental Health
In every organisation, people are at the heart of everything. When we take time to understand how we’re feeling, and create space for genuine care, we build environments where individuals feel valued, supported and able to show up as themselves. That sense of emotional safety is often the spark that shifts a team, a school, or a community from “coping” to truly thriving.
Through her mental health speaking, Sarah brings a calm, grounding presence that encourages reflection, connection and positive change. Drawing on her years of experience in wellbeing and mental health, her speeches offer thoughtful, practical guidance that helps people recognise what they need to feel well, and how small, meaningful actions can make a difference to collective culture too.
Her mental health and wellbeing talks are designed to inspire, reassure and equip audiences with ideas they can use straight away, gently opening the door to healthier, kinder and more connected everyday experiences.

Stress Reframed:
Finding Strength in Pressure
Most people think of stress as negative, but it isn’t always something to fight against. There are times when pressure can sharpen our thinking, help us grow and even give us a sense of direction. This session takes a gentler look at stress – how it shows up, what it can tell us, and how teams can respond in a way that feels supportive rather than overwhelming. It’s about helping people feel more steady and capable, even when work or life gets tough.

Mindfulness & Holistic Approaches to Supporting Mental Health
People often find support in different ways, and what works for one person may not work for another. This session gently introduces a range of mindful and holistic approaches that can sit alongside more traditional support. Rather than theory, heavy content, it offers simple ideas that people can try for themselves, ways to pause, notice what’s going on, and feel more steady during challenging moments. The aim is to help teams explore wellbeing with curiosity, openness and care.
