# James Pickles Coaching
James Pickles Coaching provides mental health advocacy, public speaking and professional performance coaching to organisations and individuals across Surrey and beyond. Founded by James Pickles, a former Sales Director who experienced severe burnout and breakdown in 2019, the business specialises in creating safe, confidential spaces for employees to address workplace stress and wellbeing.
Working with agencies, brands and corporate teams, James delivers bespoke talks that destigmatise mental health conversations and encourage early intervention. His approach is grounded in lived experience—having navigated his own recovery through therapy and support—which enables him to connect authentically with audiences regardless of company size. Sessions are characterised by openness, frank discussion and a judgement-free environment.
What sets James apart is his refusal to deliver generic wellbeing content. Instead, he combines personal storytelling with actionable coaching to help attendees understand their own stress responses and regain confidence and control. His work directly addresses the post-pandemic mental health crisis in workplaces, where persistent 'always-on' culture and social media pressures continue to drive burnout.
Testimonials highlight the tangible impact of his sessions, with clients reporting improved team morale, increased engagement with wellbeing programmes and meaningful business-wide conversations around mental health. James transforms abstract wellness initiatives into real, resonant change by helping employees recognise they're not alone and that seeking support is a sign of strength, not weakness.
