Hello, I’m Dr. Elaine Smith, a Business Wellbeing Consultant and Psychologist with a passion for transforming corporate wellbeing.
Since establishing my private psychology practice in 2018, I have dedicated myself to empowering leaders across diverse organizations with tailored training and consultancy services. My qualifications include a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology, a BSc in Psychology, and an MSc in Forensic Psychology. I am also HCPC registered.
​
Having grown up in Edinburgh, I gained invaluable early career experience in several large banks, where I worked in various Human Resources roles. I later pivoted back to psychology, taking on my first practitioner role in the prison service. Some years after qualifying with my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology, I returned to my true passion: fostering workplace wellbeing. I am now fortunate enough to combine my interests in business and mental health with my clinical and personal experiences to create mentally healthy workplaces that inspire growth and resilience.
I deeply understand the significant impact that leaders and line managers can have on mental health at work. My experience includes supporting managers and employees in navigating challenging conversations, managing mental health disclosures, and implementing reasonable adjustments. I’ve witnessed firsthand how crucial moments can determine whether an individual stays or leaves their job. I often refer to the 'golden opportunity' line managers have when an employee is struggling: the chance to offer genuine compassion and listen without judgment. Sadly, this opportunity is often missed, as many managers feel anxious or ill-equipped to discuss mental health.
​
This is where specialist mental health and wellbeing training for leaders and line managers becomes vital for businesses looking to elevate their wellbeing strategies to new heights. I create and deliver bespoke programmes designed to enhance business performance, promote overall wellbeing, boost retention, and foster employee engagement.
​
I take immense pride in understanding your company culture and identifying specific challenges related to employee mental health and wellbeing. This insight enables me to develop a tailored training package that meets the unique needs of your employees while considering the wider business landscape.
​
Think of this as your one-stop shop for employee mental health and wellbeing. We assess, create, and deliver impactful training designed specifically for your business.
