Supporting the People Who Care for Others

Working in care can be incredibly rewarding, but it can also be physically and emotionally demanding. With busy schedules and the needs of others always a priority, finding time to look after our own health and wellbeing can be challenging.
At Women’s Health Hub, I offer practical, engaging wellbeing workshops designed specifically to support frontline care staff. The sessions provide an opportunity to pause, reflect and explore simple ways to support their own health, energy and resilience, both at work and at home.
As a qualified health coach, I’m passionate about helping people understand their health and make realistic, achievable changes that fit into everyday life. My approach is supportive, down-to-earth and focused on practical strategies rather than perfection.
I believe that supporting the wellbeing of those who care for others is an important part of creating healthier, happier and more resilient care teams.

What Others Say
“We were delighted to have Helen at The Red Shed Carers Cafe. Her presentation on the importance of wellbeing for carers was not only informative but also engaging and full of practical tips our carers could easily take away and use at home.
Helen created such a welcoming and supportive environment, encouraging discussion and reflection, and our carers really benefited from the session — and so did we as staff. Helen was fantastic, and we would highly recommend her.”
