Protect the people your business can’t afford to lose.
Burnout Support for Organisations
Losing a team member to stress or burnout doesn’t only impact that person. It costs the business.
Recruitment, lost momentum, team morale, institutional knowledge and all their contacts and connections walk out the door.
And unfortunately, by the time burnout is visible, it’s already at crisis point.
I work with companies, VCs, accelerators, incubators and institutions to support the people they depend on, before they hit breaking point.
Common problems and warning signs
A team member or leader is showing signs of strain but no one is sure how to raise it without it sounding like a critique of their performance.
You’ve tried generic wellness perks or EAP and it hasn’t made a difference for the people you want to support.
There’s no clear internal owner for this kind of conversation. Is it HR? Line managers? The board? Your investors?
You’re aware of the cost of losing someone senior but don’t have a way to turn this in to proactive prevention and awareness.
People are exhausted but they often don’t feel comfortable talking about it. Burnout stays hidden until someone resigns or goes off sick. Workshops help teams spot the signs early and talk about them without stigma.
“Cat’s workshop on AI burnout generated a huge amount of engagement compared to other workshops we’ve offered, which really speaks to how relevant and valuable the topic was. She brought a fresh perspective to the conversation, sharing thoughtful insights and practical ideas that people could take away and apply. The session was motivational without losing sight of reality, striking a great balance between optimism about AI’s potential and an honest acknowledgement of the challenges it brings. I’d highly recommend Cat’s workshop to anyone looking to explore the impact of AI on how we work and find a more sustainable way forward.”

Why This Is Worth It
Work-related stress is the biggest cause of work-related ill health in Britain. The Health and Safety Executive estimates that 964,000 workers experienced work-related stress, depression or anxiety in 2024/25, and that it led to 22.1 million lost working days. That’s roughly two-thirds of all days lost to work-related ill health.
Research by Deloitte for Mind estimates that poor mental health costs UK employers up to £45 billion a year. Most of that comes from presenteeism - the people who are at work but can’t perform at their best. Staff turnover adds to that number.
The same research found that, on average, employers get back about £5 for every £1 they invest in supporting their people’s mental health.
Losing a senior hire typically costs tens of thousands to replace, not to mention the disruption to the team and loss of knowledge. Supporting someone early is a fraction of that cost and a fraction of the disruption.

A Bit About Me
I’ve been a founder, CEO, CTO and CPO
I’ve burned out three times running companies.
Supported founders, leaders, teams and individuals across the UK and Europe through 1:1 coaching, workshops and speaking.
Worked with incubators, accelerators and organisations such as Press Start, GameSpace, Adobe, Scottish Women in Tech and more.
I understand both sides of the conversation: the business pressure and the person underneath; meaning I can relate to a wide range of professional challenges.
