Support for difficult workplace relationships.

Jake brings calm, subject matter expertise and relevance to a difficult topic, making it possible for everyone to engage with it on a level that worked for them. I received reports of people having the confidence to use the techniques learned in real-life situations soon afterwards.

Built for teams where conversations matter.

These are the settings where the training and mediation approach is most often used.

Citizens Advice

Local offices and national programmes. I ran a Citizens Advice office for five years before I trained a single first aider, so I have sat your side of the table.

Mental health charities

Local Minds and other mental health charities. Teams holding distress every day need training that respects what they already know and adds usable structure.

Primary care and NHS

Reception, care navigation and clinical teams handling difficult patient conversations and complex distress daily.

Corporate and professional services

Legal, infrastructure and professional services. Awareness sessions to start, full cohorts when you are ready to commit.

The blend you are actually hiring.

Each of these on its own is common. The combination is rare, and it is what shapes how the work lands in the room.

Charity leader

Former Chief Executive of Citizens Advice Wokingham, November 2018 to February 2023. I have run the organisation, not just trained inside one.

Lived experience

I draw on lived experience of mental ill health and ADHD as professional perspective, not as a substitute for evidence. I am a trainer and mediator, not a clinician.

Questions people ask first.

Are you a therapist or counsellor?

No. I am a trainer, workplace mediator, conflict coach and e-learning developer. I am not a therapist, counsellor, psychologist or clinician, and the training is not therapy or clinical care.

How much does Mental Health First Aid training cost?

It depends on the course, how many people you are training and whether it runs online or in person. The same rate applies to every organisation, and no VAT is added.

Do you deliver online or in person?

Both. MHFA England courses run live online or in person anywhere in the UK. E-learning is self-paced and hosted on a dedicated Moodle platform, with group access for 12 months.

How long does workplace mediation take?

A typical two-party workplace mediation runs over about two to three weeks. That covers contracting, an individual session with each person, the joint session and agreed follow-up.

Do you train MHFA Youth?

No. I deliver the adult and workplace MHFA England products: Mental Health First Aid, MHFA for Managers, Mental Health Skills for Managers, MHFA Refresher, MHFA Champion and Mental Health Aware.

How quickly will I get a reply?

Within one working day.

Can I book an open course as an individual?

Yes. View upcoming public course dates and individual prices on my official MHFA England instructor page. If none of the dates suit, email me and I will let you know what is coming next.
