Perfect for Mental Health Awareness Week or World Mental Health day, we offer a fresh take on mental health workshops for employees.
Our sessions & accompanying resources are interactive, practical and evidence-based, connecting the dots between what your team eats and how they cope, focus and feel. Because mental health 'awareness' training only goes so far if nobody's blood glucose has been stable since 9am.
Built for real lives and real budgets, delivered in a way that's fun, relatable and engaging.
Whether you need a single high-energy webinar for Mental Health Awareness Week or a year-round programme woven into your wellbeing calendar, we build it around your team, your size and your budget.
WHY NUTRITION IS THE MISSING INGREDIENT IN YOUR MENTAL HEALTH STRATEGY
Most corporate mental health training skips the piece sitting right under everyone's nose: what people eat directly shapes how they focus, how they feel and how they regulate stress.
In a landmark clinical trial, people with major depression who improved their diet achieved a 32.3% full remission rate, comparable to citalopram, one of the most widely prescribed antidepressants.
Nutrition isn't a nice-to-have for mental health , it's clinically proven to matter.
-
Stable blood sugar, stable mood — no more 3pm crash into anxiety, irritability and brain fog
-
~90% of serotonin is made in the gut — the "feel-good" hormone isn't just a brain thing
-
B-vitamins, magnesium & omega-3s are non-negotiable fuel for emotional regulation and commonly lacking in busy professionals
-
A balanced microbiome talks directly to the nervous system — dialling down stress response and improving sleep
We're not here to add another "5-a-day" poster to the wall. We're here to give people tools that actually move the needle on their mental health and how they feel.
THE COST OF GETTING IT WRONG
INCREASED ABSENCE
Mental ill-health is the leading cause of long-term sickness absence in UK workplaces.
REDUCED PRODUCTIVITY
Employees at risk of depression lose 151% more productive days than their healthier colleagues.
HIGHER TURNOVER
Employees who say their job harms their mental health are >twice as likely to leave within the next year.

TESTIMONIALS: DON'T JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT
"The webinar was interactive, something that can be difficult to achieve virtually, but Steph did this with precision.
The information was brilliant and surprising... It's fun, informative, and light-hearted. Everything you need in an education session"
Charley Ley, Coloplast
"Her slide deck was professional and sleek with just enough details so not to detract from her talking and explaining the topic.
She used a great pace to explain each segment and towards the end she opened the floor for questions. Steph was very natural, open and honest during the Q&A."
Ali Cleveland, Cancer Research UK
"Steph delivered a fantastic workshop for our staff team... highlighting the importance of eating the right foods to boost our mood, reduce inflammation, and improve energy and performance.
Steph's extensive scientific knowledge came through in a really accessible way, with the whole team taking away ideas for simple actions and new habits to improve general wellness and mental health."
Amy Town, Down's Syndrome Manchester

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
01 What are mental health workshops for employees?
Expert-led interactive sessions designed to build workplace resilience by addressing the root physical drivers of mental well-being. Rather than focusing solely on mindset, these sessions equip staff with practical tools around nutrition, gut health, blood sugar, and sleep—giving them simple, realistic habits to manage stress, boost focus, and take charge of their daily mental health.
02 How is this different from standard mental health awareness training?
Our workshops are built and delivered by Steph Ley, a BANT-registered nutritionist (BSc, DipION, mBANT, mGNC) — not a generic wellbeing facilitator. Sessions are interactive (live polls, Q&A, tastings where in-person) and grounded in gut-brain science, not a compliance checklist. The aim is to empower attendees with easy, actionable strategies they can use immediately to make a real, noticeable impact on their everyday mental well-being. We move away from simply spotting the signs of poor mental health to the practical steps we can start to take to actually move up the mental well-being continuum.
03 Are the workshops inclusive of different diets, budgets and backgrounds?
Yes — every session is built assuming varied dietary needs, budgets, cooking access and schedules across the room. There's no single "correct" way to eat presented, and no assumption everyone shops or cooks the same way.
04 Can we book one workshop for Mental Health Awareness Week, or does it need to be a full programme?
Either. You can book a single standalone session for a key date such as World Mental Health Day, or a multi-session package for ongoing support — see the packages above.
05 Do sessions work for fully remote or hybrid teams?
Yes — every format is built for Zoom or Teams and scales to global, distributed teams. Each online session includes a recording for staff to be able to access on-demand. We can also offer in-person workshops in London, Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Berkshire and across the South East.
06 What is included in each of your mental health workshops?
Every workshop is tailored to your team's specific needs and delivered live by a qualified BANT Registered Nutritionist. Each standard package includes: Tailored Content: A preliminary discovery call to customise the session around your chosen topic. Live Interactive Session: A live presentation followed by a real-time Q&A for personalised advice. Post-Session Resources: A practical digital toolkit and lifetime access to the session recording. Popular Add-ons: You can further enhance your event with custom recipe booklets, 1-to-1 nutrition consultations, postal 'Vitality Boxes' or follow-up NutriBulletins.
07 How do you keep engagement high during the workshops?
We keep sessions dynamic and relevant by tailoring content directly to your team’s needs through a pre-workshop discovery call. Each live workshop is delivered by a qualified BANT Registered Nutritionist and combines practical insights with interactive elements, including a live Q&A, games, active polling, and a digital toolkit. Attendees also receive lifetime access to recordings and optional follow-ups like recipe booklets and NutriBulletins to maintain momentum after the session ends.
08 What size teams do you work with?
From an intimate leadership team workshop of 5 through to enterprise-wide talks to 5,000+ attendees.
09 We have a small budget — is there an option that isn't a full workshop?
Yes — the Bite Size Mental Health package gives you mood-boosting recipe packs, 'Be More Human' posters and a NutriBulletin series without live delivery, for teams who want to mark Mental Health Day or support staff mental health without a large spend or having people take time out of their day.
10 What sectors do you typically work with?
High-pressure, high-cognition sectors — tech, law, finance, engineering and creative agencies — where focus and burnout prevention are business-critical, alongside general corporate and community groups. We can tailor it to your group's challenges and schedules.
