Facilitated discussions designed to help educators recognise burnout patterns, restore clarity, and build sustainable wellbeing.
Practical, trauma-informed burnout prevention workshops designed to support educators, reduce attrition, and create healthier learning environments.
This is the context in which my burnout prevention work is designed and delivered.
Across education, sustained stress is showing up as increased staff sickness and absenteeism, emotional fatigue, disengagement, and the steady loss of experienced educators. Many professionals are being asked to cope under pressure rather than being supported to work sustainably.
Burnout prevention is no longer a wellbeing extra. It is a strategic investment in retention, staff capacity, and long-term organisational health.
Format: 90-minute interactive workshop (online or in-person)
Includes:
Investment: £1,200 – £1,500 per workshop
(Final pricing depends on format, group size, and context.)
This workshop focuses on the relational and systemic conditions that often lead to prolonged stress, safeguarding strain, and burnout across school communities. It supports schools to intervene earlier, with clarity and care, before issues become formal, adversarial, or damaging.
The work centres everyday communication, professional boundaries, student voice, and leadership responsibility — supporting steadiness for staff, students, and families. This is preventive wellbeing at a systems level.
Format: 60–90 minute workshop or keynote
Investment: £1,800 – £2,500

I bring over 20 years in education, lived experience of burnout, and a trauma-informed, compassionate approach that supports both individuals and institutions.
My work is grounded, practical, and helps people restore calm, clarity, and resilience so they can work well without sacrificing their health.
Burnout prevention looks different depending on context. My work is rooted in education, and schools will find dedicated workshop and term-based support outlined below. I also work with organisations outside of education through structured burnout prevention sprints and consulting engagements. While the format may vary, the foundation is the same across all settings: preventive, evidence-informed support that strengthens capacity, restores steadiness, and creates conditions where people can function well — consistently and sustainably.
Interactive, trauma-informed workshops designed to support educator wellbeing, reflective practice, and long-term sustainability.
“I work at the intersection of lived experience, systems awareness, and human potential.”— Marsha Kerr Talley
Schools operate under sustained pressure. When emotional strain becomes normalised, staff capacity, morale, and retention are quietly affected. Preventive wellbeing work focuses on supporting steadiness early, before strain escalates into absence, disengagement, or attrition.
My work supports schools by strengthening clarity, steadiness, and shared understanding across staff groups, in ways that respect professional boundaries, safeguarding responsibilities, and organisational realities. This is not therapy or performance management, but practical, preventive support that helps people function well and remain grounded in their roles over time.
Supportive spaces where educators feel seen, can hone their craft, and bring renewed energy into classrooms and communities.
My preventive health and wellbeing work supports individuals and organisations navigating sustained stress, system strain, and moments of transition. The focus is not on pushing through or fixing people, but on restoring clarity, steadiness, and the conditions needed to move forward with intention.
I bring over 20 years of experience in education, alongside lived experience of burnout and recovery. My work is grounded in a trauma-informed, compassionate approach that supports both individuals and the systems they work within.
Sustainable wellbeing is not about asking people to cope better under pressure. It is about creating conditions where people can work with greater clarity, steadiness, and a renewed sense of purpose.
This work is preventive, not performative.
I work with organisations to move beyond short-term fixes and wellbeing initiatives that quietly place the burden back on staff. Instead, I support teams to develop the awareness, boundaries, and practical tools needed to feel genuinely supported, more resilient, and better able to engage meaningfully in their work.
Many educators no longer feel able to bring their full personality, creativity, and professional skill into the classroom without fear of misunderstanding, punitive responses, or having their work taken or misrepresented. When this is compounded by chronic underpayment, heavy workloads, SEND complexity, and extensive administrative demands, the impact is cumulative. Without recognition, protection, and sustainable support, even deeply committed educators are worn down by the demands of the role.
If your institution is ready to take burnout prevention seriously, I’d welcome a conversation about how we can work together.
