Bram, London

Communications specialist and keynote speaker on mental health messaging

Many people who could benefit from mental health support never take that first step. They see getting help as a weakness or doubt it will make any difference.The problem isn't with the support itself. It's how we talk about it. Mental health content often swings between two extremes: overly generic language that sounds disconnected from reality, or technical descriptions that make support feel like a complicated medical procedure.As a specialist in messaging and communications, I deliver talks to mental health professionals on how well-considered communication can reduce stigma and make mental health support more accessible and more appealing.Whether it's a short 15-minute talk or a longer, more in-depth session, I share practical communication frameworks designed to make a real impact. Here are some examples of the topics I cover:

  • Destigmatising mental health language

  • Creating engaging mental health content

  • Communicating the real value of therapy and mental health support

  • Overcoming common misconceptions about mental health support

  • ...

Please do not hesitate to contact me for bespoke topics. These can be tailored to your event.
