Mindful Wellbeing Project
Mental Security for Real Life.
The Mindful Wellbeing Project grew out of a simple, honest question I kept hearing in my work:
“How am I meant to stay steady, kind and sane when everything around me feels chaotic?”
For over 30 years I’ve worked in schools, businesses and one-to-one coaching, helping people cope with pressure, change and other people’s behaviour.
The Mindful Wellbeing Project
​
is my way of turning that experience
into something practical, human and easy to access –
for staff, leaders, parents and young people.
What I mean by “Mental Security”
I talk about MENTAL SECURITY rather than “mental health”.
Mental security is the feeling that, whatever happens, you’ll find a way to respond that you can live with. Not perfectly, not without wobbling – but without losing who you are or what you stand for.
When people feel they:
-
Belong
-
Have some control
-
Know they matter for who they are (not just what they achieve),
then behaviour, learning and performance almost always improve.
The Mindful Wellbeing Project is about building those conditions on purpose – in ourselves, in staffrooms, in classrooms and at home.
Why This Matters Now
Young people & Adults today are surrounded by information about emotions, wellbeing and regulation – but have far less unstructured time to actually learn through experience.
There are more programmes, resources and “things to buy” than ever, but what many schools, businesses and families are really missing is:
-
calm, emotionally steady adults,
-
with enough lived experience to guide young people through challenge,
-
without panicking, over-controlling or giving up.
My work is rooted in decades of real life in schools and organisations, not just the latest trend. The Mindful Wellbeing Project brings that experience into a form that makes sense for the world young people are growing up in now.
Who Is It For ?
The Mindful Wellbeing Project is designed for:
​
Heads and senior leaders
Who want a calmer, more emotionally intelligent culture.
​​
Teachers and support staff
Who are tired of firefighting behaviour and want to understand what’s really going on underneath.
​​
Parents and carers
Trying to support children and teenagers through a very different world to the one they grew up in.
​​
Individuals
Who want to feel less reactive and more grounded in everyday life.
WHAT THE PROJECT INCLUDES
Depending on your needs, the project can include:
Talks & keynotes
Inspiring, down-to-earth sessions on mental security, belonging, behaviour and emotional resilience.
​
Staff training & workshops
Practical tools for responding to stress, anxiety, anger and shutdown – in students and in ourselves.
​
Leadership coaching & consultancy
Space for heads and senior teams to think clearly, steady themselves and shape culture deliberately.
​
The Coaching Channel
Short, focused videos that staff, leaders and parents can watch in their own time – reinforcing the same core ideas.
