# Progressive Minds

Progressive Minds is a mental health and wellbeing consultancy founded by Emma Last, based in Leyland. The business specialises in helping professionals and organisations develop strategies to manage stress, improve mental health and enhance overall performance in the workplace.

Emma works with both individual professionals seeking personal development and employers looking to meet their legal obligations under health and safety regulations. She recognises that many organisations aren't aware they're legally required to assess and control workplace stress-related risks, and helps them implement robust solutions.

The business delivers accredited mental health first aid training, life skills coaching programmes designed to build resilience and mindset, and bespoke one-to-one and group coaching. Emma's approach is solutions-focused, drawing on over 20 years' experience in team leadership, coaching and training.

What distinguishes Progressive Minds is Emma's emphasis on practical, skill-based development rather than generic wellbeing initiatives. She aligns her work with government-endorsed 'Thriving at work' standards, helping clients establish mental health plans, open communication, stigma reduction and measurable outcomes. Client testimonials highlight transformative results, with individuals reporting clearer thinking and increased resilience.

Rather than offering quick fixes, Progressive Minds focuses on sustainable change—enabling clients to move from stressed to strong, optimise their potential and maintain long-term balance across all life areas.
