Reality TV Star Doctor, Comic And Olympic Icon Top Poll Of The UK’s Best Mental Health Speakers In The UK
A new poll reveals the best expert speakers to help staff with wellbeing in the workplace, and a former A&E doctor and popular comedian top the charts.
The list, compiled by the Mental Health Speakers agency, puts inspirational figures such as the Government’s Youth mental health ambassador Dr Alex George, actress and mental health campaigner Ruby Wax and Olympian Dame Kelly Holmes at the top of the pile.
Now, with World Mental Health Day only six weeks away, businesses are being encouraged to focus on how they can provide support to reduce workplace anxiety and burnout amongst their teams.
Jack Hayes, director of, says it’s essential that businesses invest in this area “for the long-term sustainability of their business and their workforce.”
“Statistics show that prioritising wellbeing in your workforce isn’t just a ‘nice to have’ or a tick box exercise, it delivers real benefits which can be seen across the business,” he says.
“With 79% of workers experiencing moderate to high levels of workplace stress and a worrying 1 in 4 reporting they feel unable to cope with the pressures of their job, prioritising how you support your staff should be ingrained in your business practices.
“Nearly 10% of UK adults take time off due to mental health issues with 45% of those absences lasting a month or longer. For those signed off due to workplace stress, the ‘fix’ has to happen in the workplace.
“The pervasive stress and pressure felt by one in five UK workers further emphasise the need for systemic solutions and support.
“We have an unrivalled roster of motivational speakers who can inspire teams, raise awareness and help shape a more supportive and productive workplace culture.
“With mental health-related sick leave at an all-time high, engaging a speaker isn’t just good for morale—it’s smart business.”
