What I do

1 in 6 employees experience a mental health issue in any given year . That's a lot of people feeling overwhelmed and in need of support. But unfortunately 3 out of 5 of employees don't feel comfortable talking to their managers about it, and over half of all managers admit they haven't received any training on how to help their teams.

With over 30 experience in the wellbeing industry and a proven track record in delivering outstanding MHFA Mental Health First Aid training, I’m here to help you. So get in touch. Together we’ll tackle the tough stuff at a time when, let's face it, it’s needed more than ever.

Testimonials

  • Sharron is a brilliant speaker and teacher on the topic of mental health. She provided my MHFA training and was measured and inspiring - navigating the challenging topics with empathy and ease. She is relatable, kind and knowledgeable in this area. I would recommend her for any public speaking or workshops related to mental health, particularly in the workplace.

    Amantha, Strengthscope

  • Super impressed with how genuine, engaging and knowledgeable Sharron is. She was inclusive and applied a highly appropriate tone throughout. A highly invaluable course that has left me feeling empowered.

    Sharon H., Somerset

  • Sharron didn’t just deliver information and facts but actually swam through her own experiences without any fear or embarrassment. She simply promoted her lived experiences as normality and to do that was super inspiring. Imagine listening to a human share their obstacles and turn that into a positive; simply wonderful.”

    Joanne F, School Teacher, Hampshire

  • I’ve been to many work related courses over the years. This has been by far the most inspiring and useful. Sharron is as engaging, knowledgeable and passionate. Thank you.

    Daniel H, Surrey

  • Such an amazing course! I felt like I gained a huge amount of knowledge and have already used the skills and techniques I have learnt, both in my personal life and workplace. I was a bit cautious about doing this course virtually, but Sharron was really engaging and so supportive throughout. I would definitely recommend this course!

  • Sharron is an outstanding professional - she is empathetic, engaging and expert in both the fields of physical and mental health and importantly, the intersection between the two. She is authentic, interesting and fun. Sharron always conveys her knowledge with passion and professionalism whilst keeping client needs and wellbeing at the heart of what she does.

    Suzy, Marketing Strategist

  • I learnt a huge amount in a short time and was personally very moved by how open Sharron and the other participants were about their personal experiences. I decided to take the course because I thought having a Mental Health First Aider would help us support our employees but what I hadn't expected was that it would have such a personal impact on me too. I'm so proud to be a MHFAider.

  • Sharron was excellent. She lead engaging and clearly presented sessions, while bringing some insightful personal stories to the course. I would highly recommend this course to anyone interested in preparing themselves to deal with a mental health crisis, or to widen their understanding of mental health issues and their prevalence in the UK. Thanks!

  • Sharron was incredible! She was very informative, patient and professional, yet made the course fun and engaging. I would recommend this course and Sharron for sure.

    Anon

  • I couldn’t be more grateful of Sharron’s time and effort she put in to host such a course. There are some tough subjects to discuss throughout the course and her support was incredible from start to finish. Her knowledge, understanding and openness around all topics throughout was encouraging to everyone and allowed others to be open and get involved too.

    Anon

  • Sharron possesses that wonderful gift of being able to read an audience and deliver a standout presentation which really makes an impact on the audience. I’ve literally witnessed the room come alive when Sharron speaks, perhaps it’s a combination of authentic lived experience combined with a down-to-earth human delivery that everyone in the room gets and feels. Sharron is all heart, self-effacing, non egoic and knows her stuff inside out. Small groups right through to large audiences, Sharron delivers a sparkling, warm and authentic presentation which draws people in and acts as that catalyst for action and change.

About me

Sharron Moffatt MHFA

Today I am vibrant but my life hasn’t always been sunshine and rainbows. 

From and early age , I experienced first hand how mental illness can wreak havoc on a persons life, happiness and ultimately health. 

During my career with over 30 years of experience in the Health and  Fitness  industry I've battled with depression and anxiety many times . I kept my struggles hidden well,  masking them with a facade of “okay-ness” that eventually took a serious toll on me.

Ten years ago was the worst time for me. My behaviour changed dramatically and I was in crisis. Yet, nobody seemed to notice or care enough to ask how I was doing. Instead, for the first and only time during my career, I was was called into my managers office, informally disciplined for not being a team player and for being unapproachable.

Looking back, I wish my colleagues had the tools to recognise the signs of mental illness and the confidence to offer support. That experience has lead me to where I am today. 

I know firsthand the impact that mental illness can have on an individual, their colleagues, and their work. That's why I'm passionate about equipping leaders and employees with the skills they need to support one another and prioritise mental health in the workplace.

It's not just about preventing crises; it's about creating a culture of understanding, compassion, and well-being for everyone.
