Your Wellbeing is in Good Hands
COURSES PROMOTING POSITIVE MENTAL HEALTH
ABOUT
As Director of Mental Health & Wellness Ltd, Will is a licensed i–act instructor providing their Royal College of Psychiatrist-accredited courses. Trading as both a franchisee of i–act and an Associate of Mental Health Support (MHS) Training & Consultancy Ltd, Will also delivers the latter’s bespoke training courses.
Having achieved a distinction in his Psychology Master’s degree and trained in counselling skills, Will has a sound understanding of mental health and wellbeing issues. His i–act and MHS work builds on this solid foundation alongside his developing practice as an Ecotherapist, bringing with him an awareness of the latest research on the most effective ways to support and respond to people with mental health conditions.
Will has over twenty years’ experience working and managing teams in sales-focussed business arenas, including recruitment and training. Having supported others with common mental health conditions in these especially high-pressure and stressful work environments, as well as enduring some himself, Will understands first-hand the challenges managers and employees may face in having these conversations within certain settings, as well as the cost implications of not having them – in particular: absenteeism, presenteeism and staff turnover.
Will is passionate about helping organisations to raise their standards of workforce mental health and wellbeing support, regardless of context. He firmly believes that this will not only lead to individuals thriving and enjoying their work, but that it is also vital for the productivity of their organisation – a win:win for everyone!
Through his academic research and his own lived experience, Will is also keenly aware of the societal and organisational stigma still associated with mental health issues. It is his hope and belief that promoting positive mental health and wellness will reduce the number of people in the workplace who feel they have nowhere to turn, or that they will be judged negatively if they discuss how they are truly experiencing life.
As a professional and enthusiastic yet compassionate trainer, Will delivers highly engaging, enjoyable, and effective training.
"The i–act training has given me a clear understanding regarding the legislation concerning mental health issues within the workplace. I now feel much more confident when supporting employees who may be experiencing a mental health or wellbeing issue at work. The manual is exactly what every manager needs."
Josh Colby, Area Manager
