Who are we, and how can we help?
Welcome, I'm So Glad You're Here
Hello, I'm Liane.
I'm a Mental Health & Wellbeing Educator, Speaker and Consultant, passionate about helping workplaces, schools and communities have compassionate conversations about mental health, stress, grief and wellbeing.
I believe that mentally healthier cultures don't happen by accident. They are built through education, understanding and the confidence to have meaningful conversations, especially when life feels difficult.
As a Mental Health First Aid England Instructor Member, bereavement and grief specialist, and experienced trainer, I bring together professional expertise and lived experience to deliver practical, compassionate and stigma-reducing education.
With over six years' experience as a Mental Health First Aider and more than three years as an accredited MHFA England Instructor, I have supported hundreds of individuals and organisations to feel more confident, capable and compassionate when it comes to mental health.
Since 2023, I have trained more than 400 people in Mental Health First Aid and Mental Health Awareness, creating safe, inclusive and non-judgemental learning spaces where people feel able to learn, reflect and grow.
Whether you're an organisation looking to create a mentally healthier workplace, a school wanting to support staff and young people, a local authority seeking wellbeing education, or an individual wanting to better support those around you, you're in the right place and it's lovely to have you here.
My Mission
To help people lead with compassion, support wellbeing and have the conversations that matter.
Because work, education and communities should be human.

My Why
Alongside formal qualifications, I bring real lived experience.
I live with anxiety. Sometimes it is a quiet hum in the background and at other times it can feel completely overwhelming.
My anxiety often centres around my daughter and includes catastrophic thinking, a severe fear of flying and compulsive mental habits such as counting or repeating phrases.
These experiences have shaped my empathy and deepened my understanding of what it means to struggle with mental health. They are also my driving force to educate, reduce stigma and promote early intervention for those experiencing mental health challenges or crisis.
I know first-hand that conversations can change lives.
That is why I do this work.
Let's Have a Conversation
If you're looking for mental health and wellbeing training that is practical, compassionate and grounded in both professional expertise and lived experience, I would love to work with you.
I offer a complimentary 30-minute wellbeing conversation for organisations, schools and community groups who would like to explore how I can support them.
Sometimes the first step is simply having a conversation.
