In February, we were pleased to welcome Nathan Shearman for an insightful session on having meaningful conversations about mental health.
Event Roundup
Drawing on his experience as a trained psychotherapist and mental health trainer, Nathan delivered an open and thought-provoking talk on the impact of poor mental health in the workplace and the practical steps we can take to better support both our colleagues and ourselves.
Key takeaways from the session included how to recognise when someone may be struggling, how to initiate compassionate conversations that encourage openness, and how to practise active, attentive listening to provide genuine support. For more information, visit https://red-umbrella.co.uk/

Event Details
Nathan Shearman
Nathan has been working in the mental health sector for over 10 years, firstly as a qualified psychotherapist from the Sherwood Institute in Nottingham, and then as a qualified mental health trainer. He joined Red Umbrella in 2019 as a trainer and therapist, working his way up to managing director at the start of 2025.
Nathan’s passion for mental health is born out of personal experience, and a deep desire to see a change in mental health stigma in the workplace, which still exists despite our best efforts. To that end, Nathan will be speaking about some of the small, practical steps that businesses can take to help create a more positive, healthy mental wellbeing culture in our businesses.
