Call us

I've worked with Thomas at multiple events and sat with him on a number of panels over the last 3 years, I've also been pleased to have Thomas as part of my Minds@Work movement since our inception. Thomas has spoken for us at events during that time, including Unilever, HSBC & Barclays and he gives a very vulnerable and authentic illustration of his own mental health challenges. He also has the ability to bring some humour to a very serious subject. I would recommend Thomas to any organisation who wants to encourage others to tell their stories and in so doing address the stigma of mental ill health in workplaces.

Customer Reviews

Geoff McDonald - ex-Global VP of HR Unilever

“Thomas’ lived experiences and ability to understand human context makes him uniquely positioned to do good work building resilient people and workplaces.”

Karen Rivoire - Global Equality Director IKEA

“I first saw Thomas present at the IoD back in 2016 against some seriously well respected panellists. While they shared their stories from a professional and seated position, everyone in the room was more engaged by Thomas, being the final speaker of the 4, who leapt to his feet unapologetically and was refreshingly real in how he performed his story to an awestruck audience. We've been friends ever since, spoken as part of the same initiatives on numerous occasions and I've also brought him into events that I've run, to offer his unique insight into what you can achieve off the back of lived experience. Highly recommended, an honest and humble guy, Thomas is the sort of maverick we need in the mental health space to really change the game.”
