Welcome to Frith Coaching & Mental Health Consultancy


“Welcome, I hope this website offers you an idea of my approach and whether that might be a good fit for you.


I trained and worked as a consultant psychiatrist before moving away from medical diagnosis and treatment to helping people develop their capacity, resources, psychological skills, and balance.

I offer 1:1 health & wellbeing or life coaching (often online), informed by my training and experience in various psychosocial models. I also offer input to groups or organizations who may have (psycho)educational, training or development needs. Whether working with an individual, team or system/organization, I am passionate about helping to grow regenerative, compassionate, and resilient systems and ways of being.

If you’re feeling unsure how to cope with, respond to, develop or change something (eg from living with a chronic illness; to overcoming self-limiting patterns blocking progress; to recognising and addressing trauma responses in an organization), perhaps you might benefit from approaching this with support / in partnership.”

Please feel free to get in touch if you:

Have something you want to work towards, and you want that exploration to be psychologically informed, compassionate and empowering

Have an organisational training, development or workforce wellbeing need
