Welfare in Film and TV

Trusted welfare solutions, tailored for your production’s needs

I’m a compassionate and adaptable Welfare & Duty of Care specialist and wellbeing advocate with over 25 years’ experience in the screen industries. I’ve worked across every stage of production, from early development to post-transmission, offering practical, bespoke support that protects wellbeing, reduces risk, and creates psychologically safe working environments.

With a unique background combining production, talent management, contributor care, and clinical therapy, I bring a rare 360° understanding of what people need to stay mentally well under pressure. I’ve worked on the ground and at a strategic level, from Producer and Talent Executive to in-house Duty of Care Advisor, and as a Welfare Consultant, Producer and Exec for broadcasters and streamers.

Whether you’re navigating difficult subject matter, supporting contributors, or trying to shift culture behind the scenes, I can offer grounded, flexible support: one-off input, short-term advice, or full wraparound care, tailored to your production.
