LEARN MORE ABOUT TRAUMA INFORMED PRACTICES

Meet Alison McCutcheon

With over 20 years of experience building leadership teams globally - ranging from start-ups to market leaders and establishing businesses both in the UK and internationally, I bring a unique blend of business acumen and personal development expertise to my coaching.

As a Brand Partner at The Mental Wellbeing Company, I am deeply committed to supporting companies in creating healthy, empowered workplaces. I collaborate with organisations to educate leaders on the importance of wellbeing within the workplace, helping businesses cultivate environments where people can thrive.

My work focuses on bridging the gap between personal growth and professional success, ensuring that leaders are not only effective but also deeply connected to their purpose and values.

Having faced the edge of burnout in my own career, I understand first-hand the pressures and demands that come with high-performance roles. This experience was a turning point, leading me to explore the deeper connection between wellbeing, leadership, and sustainable success. It fuelled my passion for helping others navigate similar challenges.

Learning to listen to my body and understand my nervous system was transformative, changing how I approached stress and experienced life. This deeper connection brought clarity, compassion and alignment, becoming the cornerstone of my coaching philosophy. I now guide others in cultivating this awareness within themselves.
