ABOUT MINDWISE WELLBEING
A personal approach to mental health and wellbeing education.
Why I do what I do
I’m James, the founder of MindWise Wellbeing and a Mental Health & Wellbeing Educator. I provide practical mental-health education, workshops and awareness sessions for schools, organisations and community groups. I believe that better understanding of mental health can help people feel more confident talking about it, recognise when someone may be struggling and understand where further support may be available.
My Journey
Over the last few years, mental health and wellbeing have become much more personal to me. I supported my mum through a period of ill health before sadly losing her in January 2025. At the same time, I've experienced the ups and downs that come with being a parent, supporting my daughter through her teenage years and into adulthood. I'm also supporting my dad as he continues to deal with his own health difficulties. These experiences have made me look at life differently and have shown me how important it is to look after our mental wellbeing, value our relationships and be there for one another. I've come to appreciate how precious life is, how important our relationships are, and how much our mental wellbeing matters alongside our physical health.
MOVING FORWARD
Turning experience into something positive
My experiences are one of the reasons I wanted to learn more about mental health and develop MindWise Wellbeing. Through my training and my work, I want to help make mental-health conversations feel more approachable and provide practical, accessible education that people can take into everyday life.
Lets start the conversation
