Community Well-being & Mental Health Outreach Support

Breaking Barriers, Creating Change

At Calm That Anxiety, my mission extends beyond coaching—I strive to share well-being tools that have helped me and my clients while breaking down barriers to mental health support. Having faced panic disorder and agoraphobia, I understand the challenges of accessing help, especially for those facing cultural stigma, disability, age, or other life circumstances. Through outreach, I raise awareness, foster conversations, and ensure no one struggles alone.

Work in the community

An Anti-Stigma Mental Health Event

One of my most impactful community projects was an anti-stigma mental health gathering held at Ian’s Barbershop in Wood Green, North London. In collaboration with Mind Charity UK and Co-op, this event was designed to encourage Black African and Caribbean men to openly discuss mental health in a relaxed and culturally familiar environment.

Through meaningful conversations, we explored the real barriers to accessing mental health support and worked towards breaking the stigma.

Watch the video for key insights from the event.

“There are a lot of people living in the area with mental health challenges, so an event like this was incredibly valuable. It helps people seek support, even if they don’t openly admit they need it.”
— Ian Ambersley,
Owner of Ian’s Barbershop

Mindfulness Workshop for Carers

At St Joseph’s Hospice

I also had the privilege of running an interactive mindfulness session at St Joseph’s Hospice for their Carers Group. This was particularly meaningful to me, as the hospice provided immense support for my father during his care journey. Offering something back to the carers—who dedicate their time to others—was a humbling experience.

“On behalf of myself and the St Joseph’s Carers Group, I want to say a massive thank you for your inspiring session. Your calm and kind presence made such a difference, and your enthusiasm encouraged us all to participate. The interactive nature of your session helped us connect, reflect, and even discover some hidden talents! The time flew by, and we all left feeling lighter and more present. We truly appreciate your generosity in sharing your time and expertise with us.”
— Sue Cannon,
St Joseph’s Hospice Carers Group

If you are an organisation, community group, or leader looking to collaborate, sponsor an event, or support this mission, I would love to hear from you.

I believe that everyone deserves access to practical, supportive, and empowering well-being tools—which is why I offer two free community workshops each year to support charitable organisations and local initiatives.

Pro Bono Leadership Coaching

I offer two pro bono coaching packages per year for leaders making a difference in their communities. This includes:


📌 Community advocates leading grassroots well-being initiatives
