Meet your speaker
Hello, I'm Sab.
Here's where I come from.
My interest in mental health comes from lived experience of mental ill health, recovery and rebuilding confidence.
I bring that perspective alongside a background in law and residential property management. I hold an LLB and LPC, and my legal experience includes working as a paralegal at Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer.
In these sessions, I share selected experiences to help people think about what respectful, useful support can look like. Every person's experience is different. That understanding is at the heart of the conversation.

A few useful
details.
Who are the sessions for?
HR and People teams, employee networks, managers and colleagues. Sessions can fit staff wellbeing events or a dedicated team conversation. We discuss suitability and focus before agreeing a booking.
Can the session be tailored?
Yes. We agree a focus and choose relevant workplace examples during the preparation call. Workshops allow more room for guided discussion and scenarios; their duration, scope and fee are agreed separately.
Can people listen without taking part?
Absolutely. Questions and discussion are optional. Nobody will be asked to share a diagnosis or personal experience, and participants are welcome to step out.
Do you offer clinical advice or accredited training?
These sessions offer education and discussion informed by lived experience. They are not therapy, individual clinical advice or accredited mental health training. We can discuss whether the approach fits your event.
How do online and in-person bookings work?
I'm based in Milton Keynes and offer online and in-person sessions, subject to availability. We agree the platform or venue arrangements and any travel expenses before you book.
What happens after I enquire?
We'll discuss your audience, date and intended takeaways, then confirm availability, scope and the total fee in writing. Enquiring does not commit you to a booking.
