Why we love what we do

We create and inspire positive change not only in our own lives, but in the lives of others. This in itself is extremely rewarding to us, as we seek meaningful work, as we want to make a genuine difference.


In our busy everyday lives, everyone has problems.  Our targeted resilience and wellbeing programs,  provide a valuable learning experience  for  all.    When stress occurs in life,  whether is in the workplace or at home, people often reach out for our expertise.  In doing what we do best, we offer inspiring   mental  health  workshops.    Giving hope in times of adversity, meaning and giving  real tools, to help real people in a real world.

David Downes

David  joined  the  Royal Navy – submarines (intelligence/communications),  as a teenager.    Deployed  on  long tours at sea provided  him  with  his first insight into  the  human psychological  capability to  cope  with  stress  in demanding circumstances.  


On leaving the Navy, he founded a startup IT business based in the North West, leading to the employment of 115 colleagues located in 6 locations, before its eventual sale in the late 90’s.  During this time he acquired his CAA & FAA Pilot’s License, and continued his executive career with two global leading software organisations.


David  was  born in Dublin, Ireland  before moving to the UK in childhood.   


 His  relaxed friendly Irish approach really works in  energizing  and entertaining delegates.

Rebecca Downes

Rebecca’s  formal business background was in strategic human resource management  and  talent  acquisitions. Working commercially with start-up companies, non-profit  charities,  and  global brands’ supporting organisations and their employees undergoing transitional change. Throughout  her  working  career  she  gained  a  greater  understanding of the critical importance of context. 


Possessing  a natural disposition to share her passion for developing,  and fostering relationships with people of all ages,  she  changed  career, and  retrained  as  a  Mental  Health  professional.  


Rebecca  was  born  in Cheltenham, before moving to North Wales  in childhood.    


She  is  genuinely intuitive and an empathic listener with a natural  calming presence.

Corporate & Private Practice

After completing four years with the NHS BCUHB, both David and Rebecca started to build their corporate & private practice in 2011, and successfully opened four practices within the North West. 


Due to the demands in the south of the country they relocated to Surrey in late 2018. In their commitment to making a difference they continue to support local  GP’s,  private  healthcare  &  EAP  providers,  medical  legal  insurers, solicitors, and  self-referrals in the City of London and Canary Wharf.
