Meet Mike Lawrence, a passionate wellbeing practitioner committed to helping individuals achieve optimal mental health and unlock their full potential.
As a proud father to two amazing daughters, I find balance and joy in family life. My personal passions include R&B, rare groove, jazz, modern soul, and northern soul—genres that nourish the soul. Outside of my work, you’ll often find me at sports events (Formula 1 is a personal favourite) or immersing myself in cultural experiences like the West End theatre.
I’ve been fortunate to attend iconic productions such as Driving Miss Daisy, Singing in the Rain, and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, as well as live performances by legends like Luther Vandross, Stevie Wonder, Whitney Houston, and even the Nelson Mandela 90th Birthday Concert featuring a young Amy Winehouse. These experiences fuel my appreciation for connection, creativity, and resilience—values that drive my work.
My journey began at Butlins as a Redcoat, where I discovered the transformative power of positivity and engagement in enhancing people’s wellbeing. This foundation inspired a career dedicated to equipping others with the tools they need to thrive.
Today, I collaborate with private individuals and corporate clients, offering:
My vision is to empower thousands of people over the next decade through mental health and wellbeing awareness. Whether it’s supporting individuals in overcoming personal challenges or guiding teams toward greater productivity and harmony, my mission is clear: to provide expert care, practical solutions, and genuine support.
If you’re ready to prioritise your mental wellbeing or enhance your organisation’s culture, let’s take the first step together. A brighter, healthier future is within reach—let’s make it happen!
Maya Angelou, one of my favourite poets, once said: “People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
This quote embodies the way I approach life and work. Whether empowering individuals to achieve their aspirations or helping organisations create supportive workplace cultures, my goal is to make a lasting, positive impact on how people feel and thrive.
As a leader in mental health and wellbeing initiatives, I bring passion, professionalism, and expertise to every project. I’ve collaborated with award-winning authors on the Amazon best-selling book Confidence: How to Have It and Keep It. In 2022, I was honoured to be shortlisted by the FSB Small Business Awards for Yorkshire and the Humber and recognised as one of the top 3 therapists in Sheffield. In 2023, I was proud to be shortlisted for the prestigious Black Business Awards, further acknowledging my commitment to excellence and impact in the field.
From delivering Mental Health First Aid training to facilitating workshops on resilience, stress management, and diversity, my work centres on helping others unlock their potential and create a brighter future for themselves and their communities.
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with a diverse range of clients across multiple sectors, from global corporations to public institutions and creative organisations. My client portfolio includes:
I support clients through a flexible approach, working in-person at my clinic in Broomhill, Sheffield, and offering online or on-site sessions tailored to meet your specific needs. Whether addressing mental health challenges, building emotional resilience, or fostering positive workplace cultures, I partner with organisations and individuals who genuinely care about making a difference.
Together, we create healthier, more resilient individuals and teams—driving meaningful change across lives, businesses, and communities.
