Mental Health First Aid Training and Wellbeing Support

Learn essential skills in mental health support today.

Who are we, and how can we help?

Welcome, I'm So Glad You're Here

Hello, I’m Liane, a passionate Mental Health First Aid Instructor Member, bereavement and grief specialist, and someone who truly understands the ups and downs of mental health, both professionally and personally.

With over six years’ experience as a Mental Health First Aider and over two years as an accredited MHFA England Instructor, I’ve supported hundreds of individuals to feel more confident, capable, and compassionate when it comes to mental health, not just in workplaces but communities, and everyday life too.

Since 2023, I’ve trained more than 300 people in MHFA, focusing on creating safe, inclusive, and non-judgemental, informed learning spaces. Whether you're an organisation looking to build a mentally healthier culture or an individual wanting to better support those around you, you're in the right place and it's lovely to have you here.

My Specialisms Include:

  • Mental Health First Aid (Adults) (2 day)

  • Mental Health Aware (1 day)

  • Mental Health First Aid for Managers (1 day) - COMING SOON - March 2026

  • Suicide First Aid

  • Grief First Aid

  • Grief and Bereavement Support – including grief awareness, supporting those bereaved by suicide,  anticipatory grief, supporting grieving children and families  & workplace loss

  • RSPH Level 3 in Mental Health First Aid

  • NCFE CACHE Level 2 in Early Years Mental Health

  • NCFE CACHE Level 2 Certificate in Awareness of Mental Health Problems

Alongside formal qualifications, I bring real, lived experience. I live with anxiety, sometimes a quiet hum in the background, other times completely overwhelming. My anxiety often centres around my daughter and includes catastrophic thinking, a severe fear of flying, and compulsive mental habits like counting or repeating phrases. These experiences have shaped my empathy and understanding for others and are my driving force to educate, reduce stigma and provide early intervention to those experiencing mental health challenges or crisis.

How Can I Help

I can...

  • Deliver MHFA England accredited courses for individuals or organisations

  • Offer bespoke training or talks on grief, suicide prevention, mental health awareness

  • Provide consultation and support around workplace mental health and bereavement policies

  • Bring lived insight and professional skill together to create impactful, stigma-reducing education

If you're looking for mental health training that’s real, compassionate, and grounded in both experience and expertise, I’d love to work with you.
