Speaking Engagements and Events
My speaking events are designed to inspire, educate and create space for honest reflection, whether it’s a small team session or a large conference.
I combine my lived experience, professional training and a warm, relatable style to help people engage with the topic of grief which is often avoided.
No heavy lectures. No clinical jargon. Just real conversations that land with people and stay with them long after the session ends.
Each talk is tailored to the audience and can be shaped around a specific theme or outcome.
Meaningful, Real-World Insight
Talks that explore the emotional side of grief in a way people understand — practical, honest and grounded.
Engaging, Relatable Delivery
A warm, down-to-earth approach that encourages people to open up, reflect and feel part of the conversation.
Tailored Themes for Your Audience
Talks shaped around the needs of your event, organisation or group, from grief awareness to emotional wellbeing and resilience.
Connection Through Storytelling
Using real-life experiences to make complex emotions easier to relate to, understand and discuss.
Speaking engagements are perfect for:
Conferences and wellbeing events
Workplace away days and training days
HR and leadership teams
Mental health and wellbeing programmes
Schools, colleges and community groups
Podcasts, panels and online events

What People Say
Kathryn E White

I really enjoyed my coaching sessions with Gayle. I felt she really listened to what I had to say, and I particularly appreciated her ability to repeat back what she had heard. Gayle has a wonderful ability to explain things in such a calm and reassuring way that also makes sense, and to ask questions sensitively to draw out the answers.”

“I had never considered coaching; I am not ‘one of those people’. However, with changes in my family on the horizon, I decided to give it a go, I am so pleased I did. Coaching/Gayle has helped me to focus on things that are important to me, she made some great suggestions, things I would not have thought of. Gayle is calm, approachable and reads people well, she brought me back to topics that I was ‘skirting’ around and worked with me at what I want out of life. As a complete sceptic, I am now completely converted, my friend is already speaking to Gayle!”
Maria Jonsson
“I have found coaching with Gayle incredibly useful. She effortlessly created a space where I felt safe and supported to reflect on challenges and goals. I appreciated Gayle’s calm, caring and professional approach and would recommend her to anyone looking for a Coach.”
Mark Stokes
“I have spent most of my career working in a largely male dominated environment and was sceptical about the value of coaching, but Gayle very quickly put me at ease and showed me how effective it can be.
She is attentive, calm and has a gentle, reassuring manner which made it easy to open up to her.
Gayle has helped me both with personal and professional issues and I would have no hesitation recommending her to friends and family.”
Zoe Britton
"Gayle was patient, sincere and understanding in her approach in getting me to talk and discuss about my issues. She made me feel comfortable and I was never judged.
Gayle has taught me so much to able to better manage my social anxiety and teach me that there is no point worrying over situations that I can’t control."
