Workplace workshops
Burnout support that people
actually turn up to
My mission is to help workplaces move away from “pushing through” culture and towards environments where people can thrive, build resilience, and recognise early signs of burnout before crisis point.
Through workplace wellbeing talks, burnout workshops, and resilience training, I offer practical, accessible tools to help individuals and teams regulate stress and create sustainable ways of working.
Because when people feel well, they work well — and everyone benefits.
Your team doesn't need another app or another slide deck. They need an hour where they stop, make something with their hands, and leave with tools they'll actually use.
My sessions blend hands-on making with practical burnout prevention. They're a team social and genuine wellbeing in one booking, and they can come out of your social budget or your wellbeing budget.
I'm Gemma, a wellbeing coach specialising in parental burnout, and a mental health first aider with 25 years in five-star hospitality, including two years as wellbeing manager across eight hotels.
I've also been through parental burnout myself, so I know what it looks like from the inside, and how to catch it early.
I bring everything. All materials, tools, aprons, setup and clear-up. You just book the room.

Year-round sessions
Reducing Burnout, Building Resilience
Spot burnout early, and give your people the tools to stay well all year.
90 minutes · in person
Burnout rarely arrives overnight. It builds quietly until a good person goes off sick or hands in their notice. This interactive workshop helps your team recognise the signs in themselves and each other, and leave with a practical plan to protect their energy.
What burnout really is, and the early signs most people miss
Why working parents are especially exposed, and what helps
Practical resilience tools for busy weeks, boundaries and recovery
A personal reset plan each person creates before they leave
Everyone takes home: their personal reset plan and a tools card.
Perfect for: any team, all year round. Especially popular for Stress Awareness Month (April) and Mental Health Awareness Week (May).
£65 per person (min 10 to 20 people)
Why teams book
It's a party and wellbeing in one. One booking ticks both boxes.
People actually turn up. Hands-on sessions get far better attendance than another talk or app.
Everyone takes something home. A wreath on the door keeps the session in mind for weeks.
Nobody's left out. Every Christmas session has a Winter version.
Zero effort for you. I bring it, set it up and clear it away.
No craft skills needed. The making is there to switch your brain off, and everyone leaves with something that looks great.
Who I've worked with
I've run wellbeing and burnout sessions for organisations ranging from a global law firm to a local community charity, including:
Clifford Chance · Cory Group · David Lloyd · King's Cross Academy · Walthamstow Toy Library
I've worked with management teams, teachers, staff and parents. Every time, the aim is the same: help people spot burnout early and leave with tools they'll actually use.
“This was a really worthwhile workshop which helped me assess my priorities and gave me some pointers for how I can gain some mental space going forward. Being able to hear from other people and also hear Gemma’s experience really helped offer me perspective and realise that I need to learn to say no more or ask for assistance rather than just taking things on regardless. Thank you for a really insightful evening.”
Check dates for your team
Online sessions
For hybrid teams, multi-site organisations and parents’ networks.
Not every team can be in one room, and burnout doesn’t wait for an office day. My online sessions bring the same honest conversation and practical tools to wherever your people are, with the same hands-on creative element. Every session ends with each person making a personal values card at their desk, using just paper and pens: the one thing they want to protect, decorated and kept somewhere they’ll see it. It turns a talk into something people actually act on.
Burnout at Work
Webinar · 45-60 minutes · up to 100 people · £850
For whole teams. What burnout really looks like, why it creeps up on people who seem to be coping, and practical steps for individuals and managers. The online version of my Reducing Burnout, Building Resilience workshop.
Running on Empty: Parental Burnout
Webinar · 45-60 minutes · up to 100 people · £850
For parents’ networks and working parents. Parental burnout isn’t the same as stress. This session covers the early signs, why working parents are so often hit hardest, and what helps, at home and at work. Everyone gets my free parental burnout quiz to take afterwards.
Burnout Reset
Online group programme · 3 weekly sessions · up to 12 people · £2,250
