Colin Bailey MCMA
Chief Wellness Officer
“In a previous life”, Colin Bailey dedicated the best part of 30 years to senior corporate leadership roles – embodying a definite work-life imbalance.
Colin has personally experienced how stress, anxiety and depression are interwoven with our health – both physically and mentally. (Something which was irrevocably reinforced when his father – a widely respected medical practitioner – died by suicide in September of 2014.)
A multi-award-winning Neurozone-certified MasterCoach, Colin is also a certified High Performance Master, supporting overwhelmed professionals with work-life balance, stress-reduction and resilience strategies.
Colin – an MHFA England Associate Instructor – is the Mental Health First Aid Trainer for London’s University of Roehampton and also partners with The Molly Rose Foundation in the hope of preventing young suicides – and empowering young adults to forge the best possible foundations for their futures.
