Mental Health

  • Mike Callahan

    Having worked with young people for over 30 years as a teacher and Curriculum Leader, I have seen first-hand how life has gradually changed for them.

    I am passionate about empowering young people to create positive changes in their lives. Once they develop this ability, it becomes a lifelong strength, shaping them into confident, well-rounded individuals.

    I Help To:

    • Develop self-esteem
    • Bolster self-confidence and foster a positive self-image
    • Be less worried and anxious while developing a positive mindset
    • Learn various techniques and strategies to manage challenges and stress

    In addition to working with young people on a 1:1 basis, I also collaborate with families to set boundaries and create practical solutions. My mission is to help young people build resilience, confidence, and emotional intelligence, so they can navigate life’s challenges with a strong and positive mindset.

  • Emma Little

    At The Hut, I bring creativity and purpose to the lives of adults on mental health journeys and those with learning disabilities, whether long or short-term. What makes my service different is that members leave their disabilities at the door and step in with their abilities.

    Following my coach training, I designed a coaching program that empowers my members to grow and stay motivated. I made it adaptable and easy to follow, ensuring it builds trust and supports a holistic approach to learning and development.

    Why do I do what I do?

    It’s simple—I want to make a difference. I believe everyone deserves the opportunity to grow, make choices, and have meaningful discussions that create a positive impact on their lives and those around them. Helping people build a future they can be proud of brings me happiness and fulfilment in my role as a Coach and Service Manager.

    Hi, I’m Simon. My approach to supporting people to improve their development encompasses establishing what their ‘needs’ and ‘wants’ are, so I can then design tailored learning solutions with them to maximise the impact of our collaboration.

    It is vital to align any delivery to their attitudes and beliefs first and then add value by helping them to recognise the benefits of transforming their existing knowledge and understanding to a new frame of reference.

    These connections should be driven by the person, and my role is to support and guide them through the process of change. Supporting people through their change is a privilege that I am grateful for every day.

    Hi, I’m Diane. I qualified as a wellbeing coach in 2017 with Raw Horizons and ran my own business for 5 years. In that time, I supported clients both 1:1 and in online group programmes. I also published “The Little Book of Active Wellbeing”, which describes my philosophy on exercise for mental wellbeing, as well as providing advice on building motivation. In 2022, I went back to corporate work, I still speak at neurodiversity support groups and I continue to use my coaching skills when managing my work team.
