Testimonials
Feedback from our partners
Professional Midwife Advocate in Brighton
I feel very grateful to have been given the opportunity to attend a PNA workshop facilitated by Nathan. Nathan brings such calmness and wisdom to his sessions, his professional manner and gentle encouragement creates the most perfect 'psychologically safe' environment to allow time to pause and reflect on our experiences. Nathan has a magical ability to enable self reflection, and highlighting the need for and the importance of self compassion and kindness. I would recommend this to professionals at every level of the NHS, and I feel sure the impact of the day would result in system wide change.
Lead Professional Nurse Advocate, Cambridge and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust
It has been a really enjoyable and valuable experience for myself and my group of final year mental health nursing students to be able to work and learn from Nathan. His delivery online and engagement with the students was fantastic and the workshops were really well evaluated. He provided an excellent mix of the science and evidence based strategies and tools that would positively impact all of us. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to others who want to work with a highly skilled facilitator who brings his wealth of expertise, psychological background and advocacy for nurse wellbeing. I hope to being able to work with him again in the future.
Associate Professor of Nursing, Kingston University
I thought that the day was exceptional and thought provoking plus engaging. I didn’t know what to expect when I joined the meeting, however felt I gained so much from this session. It was a great way to network with other PNA Leads and really listen to how they felt and the challenges that they face doing this role.

The Nurse Wellbeing Mission Academy
A range of online, on-demand courses to prepare you and your team for emotionally challenging work.
Learn how to reduce self-criticism, take care of your needs, and better handle your emotions. This essential course teaches core skills for nurses and midwives on how to be more self-compassionate.
Do you ever get the feeling that you’re not good enough as your peers? Whilst entirely normal, self-doubt can create anxiety, shame and distress. Imposter syndrome is common in nursing and midwifery.
In this 6 week journey designed specifically for nurses, you’ll learn a cutting edge approach to relieving stress. Science tells us that stress can be harnessed to actually benefit us. We just need to learn some basic tools and different ways of thinking in order to do that.

Nathan was keen to find a way to work together to support the midwives in Sussex I work with. He listened to what was needed and made suggestions based on what I had said, not what he assumed we needed. 30 midwives in Sussex have benefitted from workshops with Nathan and have found a new source of support. I'm looking forward to making more plans with him in the future.
