• "Thoughtfully paced and easy to engage with. Elaine created a space where everyone felt comfortable to participate. I came away with a deeper understanding of the science behind stress resilience, insightful and highly relevant for wider rollout across an organisation."

  • "I felt confident in trusting Elaine straight away. She gave me strategies to deal with issues immediately and I now have a toolbox for both long-term and everyday stress. I feel more in control of my future."

    Sam, Recently Retired Teacher

  • "There's a lot of pseudo-science around stress and female health, particularly on social media — it can feel overwhelming or out of touch. Elaine's approach was completely different. Her suggestions were sensible, personalised, and backed with facts she has clearly researched thoroughly. I've incorporated the techniques weeks after finishing and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her."

Lead Well for Organisations

Sustainable Leadership & Performance Support for Schools, Trusts, and Organisations

Education is one of the most demanding professional environments there is. Leaders are managing complex organisations, constant change, and the wellbeing of their staff — often while managing their own at the margins.

When leadership capacity erodes, it shows up long before absence or burnout: in decision fatigue, reactive management, reduced staff retention, and cultures that quietly run on adrenaline rather than sustainable performance.

Lead Well provides evidence-informed coaching and wellbeing programmes for schools, academy trusts, and education organisations — designed to build the leadership capacity and sustainable performance that your people, and your organisation, actually need.

I bring something most external providers don't: a background working inside education and government, combined with specialist training in stress physiology, nervous system regulation, coaching, and behaviour change. This is support that understands your context not generic wellbeing content repackaged for schools.

Work with me

All organisational and education work is offered by enquiry — so that every programme, workshop, or coaching arrangement is built around your specific context and priorities.

If you are a headteacher, trust leader, or HR lead looking for:

  • Credible, evidence-informed leadership and wellbeing support

  • Coaching for senior or middle leaders

  • A workshop or programme for your staff or leadership team

I'd welcome a conversation.
