I am a passionate advocate for women’s mental wellness in construction, helping to create healthier, more inclusive and psychologically safe workplaces across the industry. With a strong background in construction and a deep understanding of the challenges women can face within the sector, I bring together industry insight, lived experience and a passion for meaningful change. My work focuses on supporting women to recognise the impact of stress, pressure and workplace culture on their wellbeing, while developing the confidence, resilience and self-awareness needed to thrive. I believe mental wellbeing is not separate from safety, performance or success , it is a foundation for all three. Through coaching, advocacy and industry conversations, I support women and organisations in creating environments where people feel valued, heard and supported. I am committed to driving positive change within construction by challenging outdated perceptions, raising awareness of psychological safety and championing a future where women can build successful careers while protecting their wellbeing.
