🧠
Understanding Mental Health and Wellbeing

A practical introduction to mental health and wellbeing in the workplace. Helps staff understand common mental health challenges, recognise when someone may be struggling and consider the workplace factors that can affect wellbeing, plus simple ways to look after themselves, support colleagues and know when further help may be needed.

🔥
Preventing Burnout

Helps your people understand burnout, recognise the early warning signs and explore what may be driving it, including the personal and workplace pressures involved, how they affect wellbeing and performance, and practical ways to manage pressure, create healthier boundaries and recognise when something at work may need to change.

💪
Building Resilience and Managing Stress

Helps your people understand what drives stress, personally and within the workplace. Explores common workplace pressures, how stress affects wellbeing and performance, and practical ways to build resilience, encouraging staff to recognise what may need to change rather than simply expecting people to cope with more.

💬
Having Supportive Conversations

Gives your people the confidence to start conversations when they’re concerned about a colleague. A simple framework for approaching sensitive conversations, covering what helps, what can get in the way and what to avoid, so staff learn how to listen, respond appropriately and offer support while understanding their own role and boundaries.

Mental Health First Aider Support & Skills Session

Training shouldn’t be the end of the support your Mental Health First Aiders receive. This interactive session gives existing First Aiders a safe space to check in, ask questions and build confidence in their role, exploring situations they’ve encountered, areas of lower confidence, and any challenges they’re experiencing. There’s time to practise conversations, revisit boundaries, discuss signposting and escalation, and refresh skills. Suitable for First Aiders trained by us or another provider.

🧭
Building Resilience at Work

Helps your people build the skills to navigate change, setbacks and challenging periods at work. Explores what resilience really means, what can strengthen or drain it, and how workplace pressures affect our ability to cope. Staff leave with practical ways to protect their wellbeing, recover from difficult experiences and recognise when something needs to change rather than simply pushing through.

🛡️
Psychological Safety at Work

Helps create a workplace where people feel able to speak up, ask for help, raise concerns and be honest when something isn’t working. Explores what psychological safety looks like in practice, the behaviours that strengthen or undermine it, and the role everyone plays in creating a healthier workplace culture.

❤️‍🩹
Suicide Awareness at Work – 90 Minutes

Gives your people the confidence to recognise when someone may be at risk and know how to respond. This practical session is suitable for employees at all levels and requires no previous mental health training.

🌱
Mental Health and Wellbeing Workshops for Young People

Practical, age-appropriate workshops that help young people understand their mental health, make sense of difficult thoughts and emotions, and develop skills they can use in everyday life. Creates space to talk openly about wellbeing while giving young people practical ways to manage pressure, build confidence and recognise when they may need support.

🤝
Diversity and Inclusion Training

Helps your people understand the role they play in creating a workplace where everyone feels respected, included and able to contribute. Explores bias, behaviour, communication and the everyday experiences that can leave people feeling excluded, with practical ways to build a more inclusive workplace.

🏢
Mental Health First Aid: Know Your Organisation

Gives your Mental Health First Aiders the confidence to navigate your organisation’s own support systems when someone needs help. Connects their training with what actually happens inside your workplace: internal policies, HR and escalation routes, EAP and wellbeing services, confidentiality and record keeping, and where responsibility sits when concerns become more serious. Your First Aiders should know not only how to have the conversation, but what happens next.

Ian Young

Ian Young

Training & Development

Tagline: Grounded, real and genuinely hard to forget.

Ian is an experienced therapist whose work spans trauma, addiction, anxiety and recovery. His approach is shaped as much by lived experience as by professional training and that combination makes him exceptionally relatable to the people he works with.

People who’ve worked with Ian consistently say the same thing — he gets it in a way that goes beyond what most trainers can offer. He doesn’t just understand the subject. He understands people.

Within Piece of Mind Training, Ian also plays a key role in business and strategic development, bringing a practical, grounded perspective to how the organisation grows and evolves.

David

David Gowans

Training & Development

Tagline: He’s seen mental health crisis at its most acute. And he knows what actually helps.

David’s background is probably unlike anyone else you’ll meet in a mental health training room.

Twenty-three years on the frontline of emergency services first as a police officer, now as an HCPC-registered practising paramedic. He hasn’t studied stress, trauma and burnout from a distance. He’s carried them, in uniform, responding to people at the absolute worst moments of their lives. He understands the culture that makes asking for help feel like the hardest thing in the world because he’s lived inside that culture.

That frontline experience sits alongside his clinical practice as a qualified hypnotherapist and accredited EFT practitioner. David works with real people navigating real challenges every single week. What he brings to Piece of Mind Training isn’t theoretical. It’s current, grounded and built entirely from the inside out.

As part of the team, David delivers training, practises as a therapist and plays a key role in the development and direction of the organisation making sure that everything Piece of Mind produces is professionally rigorous and genuinely human.

David is responsible for development and ensures that Piece of Mind Training programmes are grounded in real-world application. Not what the textbook says should happen. What actually works when it matters.

Iona

Iona Russell

Growth & Partnerships

Tagline: She’s written the book. Literally.

Iona has spent more than twenty years working at the intersection of human potential and real-world impact — across psychology, coaching, education, broadcasting, the charitable sector and social policy, in both the UK and the USA.

She is a Master Positive Psychology Coach and twice bestselling author who has supported hundreds of people through coaching qualifications and worked alongside some of the most respected names in positive psychology and personal development. As a keynote speaker and leadership advisor, she helps organisations rethink what success and human flourishing actually look like.

But what drives Iona’s commitment to mental health work goes deeper than her professional background. She lost her brother to suicide. That experience — and everything it taught her about the gap between what people are going through and the support available to them — shapes everything she brings to Piece of Mind Training.

At Piece of Mind, Iona leads our partnerships, builds community impact and drives our growth across Scotland and beyond. She brings commercial insight, deep human understanding and a personal reason for being here that no CV can fully capture.

Ann

Ann Stewart

Head of Training

Tagline: The person who makes sure the learning delivers every time.

Ann has spent her career helping people make sense of the things that are weighing on them and finding a way forward when everything feels tough.

Her background is genuinely rare. A qualified teacher, certified hypnotherapist, coach and First Aid for Mental Health practitioner, Ann brings together an understanding of how people learn with a deep, practical knowledge of how people struggle. She still works directly with adults and young people every week supporting those experiencing anxiety, low confidence, emotional distress and the kind of quiet difficulties that don’t always have a name but make everyday life feel impossibly hard.

As a trainer, Ann knows that the best mental health training doesn’t just inform people, it changes how they see themselves and the people around them. She brings that belief into every session she delivers, whether she’s working with a room full of HR professionals or a team who’ve never talked about mental health at work before.

As a therapist, trainer, teacher and mum of three, Ann understands that most people are dealing with far more than anyone around them realises. That understanding is the foundation of everything she does.

At Piece of Mind Training, Ann leads on training quality and consistency, making sure that what we promise is what every learner experiences, every time.

Clinical Hypnotherapy

NLP

Psychotherapy

CBT Coaching

Trauma-Informed Practice.

Andy is a practising therapist, clinical hypnotherapist and the founder of Piece of Mind Training. He’s spent over a decade working with clients across anxiety, trauma, panic disorder and complex mental health presentations not as a theorist, but as someone who has experienced many of these challenges himself.

His personal journey through mental health struggles, panic disorder and years of pretending everything was fine is the reason Piece of Mind Training exists. He built what he wished had existed when he needed it most.

As a trainer, Andy is known for his directness, his warmth and his ability to make people feel genuinely seen. He doesn’t stand behind a slide deck and talk at people. He brings the subject into the room.
