Pathways for Positivity

Founded in 2018

Hi, I’m Shannon, a first Aid for Mental Health Instructor and  founder of Pathways for Positivity, based in Leeds West Yorkshire.

My work is built on real experience. Having spent years in high-pressure environments where stress, overwhelm, and burnout were simply seen as “part of the job,” I saw first-hand the impact it had, not just on workplace performance, but on people’s health, confidence, and overall wellbeing.

I experienced it myself. And I realised something important: it doesn’t have to be this way.

With the right support, the right tools, and most importantly the right conversations, people can feel heard, supported, and able to manage challenges before they reach breaking point.

That’s where The Pathways for Positivity comes in.

From the moment you get in touch, you’re not left to figure things out alone. I work alongside you every step of the way, proactively communicating, understanding your needs, and shaping each session so it delivers real value.

At Pathways for Positivity, the focus is simple: giving you and your people the tools, confidence, and understanding needed to manage mental health effectively and create lasting positive change. Through bespoke workshops or accredited Mental Health First Aid sessions. 

Working with Pathways for Positivity means you and your team will:

• Feel more confident supporting mental health in real-life situations 
• Gain practical tools to manage stress, anxiety, and emotional challenges 
• Build resilience and improve day-to-day wellbeing 
• Create a more open, supportive, and productive environment 
• Reduce stigma and encourage healthier conversations 
• Improve morale, engagement, and overall performance 

This isn’t just theory, it’s practical, usable support that makes a real difference.

Give your team or students the skills they actually need. 

I deliver structured, established mental health training programmes designed to equip individuals to become Mental Health First Aiders within the workplace and wider community.

These courses follow recognised criteria and assessment standards, ensuring participants gain the knowledge, skills, and confidence to support others experiencing challenges such as stress, anxiety, and depression.

Through structured Pathways for Positivity training programmes, you can develop 

Mental Health First Aiders who are equipped to recognise, understand, and respond to mental health challenges with confidence.

You benefit from:

• A more supportive and aware workplace or learning environment 
• Staff and students who feel heard, valued, and understood 
• Reduced stress-related issues and improved overall wellbeing 
• A proactive approach to mental health, not just reactive 

Training is suitable for organisations, community groups, schools, and young people aged 14+, ensuring the approach is relevant, engaging, and easy to apply in everyday life.

No two organisations, or individuals are the same. That’s why everything is designed around what you need.

Whether you're supporting a team, community group,  guiding young people, or focusing on your own wellbeing, you’ll receive practical, tailored support that delivers real results.

Every session is carefully considered, discussed, and adapted to ensure it’s relevant, practical, and impactful. You’ll always know what to expect, feel supported throughout, and have space to reflect, ask questions, and grow.

Because at the heart of everything I do is one simple belief:

When communication improves, everything improves.

Let me show you how small, practical shifts can lead to powerful, lasting change, for you, your team, or the people you support.

If you’re looking for personal support, one-to-one sessions using EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) offer a powerful, holistic way to improve your wellbeing.

Through these sessions, you can:

• Release stress, anxiety, and emotional pressure 
• Feel calmer, clearer, and more in control 
• Build confidence and emotional resilience 
• Develop healthier patterns and responses 
• Create meaningful, lasting change in your life 

Each session is tailored to you, so you get support that truly fits your needs.

Since 2018, hundreds, if not thousands of people have benefited from this work across workplaces, schools, online courses and individual sessions.

To see the impact for yourself, you can visit Instagram and social media to read reviews and hear directly from those who have experienced the results.

Take the Next Step

If you want a healthier, more confident, and more resilient environment or simply want to feel better within yourself, this is where it starts.
