Mental Health Training

Workplace mental health training is a must for organisations hoping to meet their staff’s wellbeing and mental health needs, health and safety workplace policies, and employment legislation. And any UK guidance or regulations set out by the Health and Safety Executive. We provide a holistic education, and counselling support service that trains staff teams, groups, and individuals. We are able to travel to your place of work to provide in-house services for groups, using Zoom and other online methods.

Here to help - Life Coaching

Coaching is a special relationship that seeks to support the individual to realise their greater potential, in their personal and professional lives. Life Coaching at the Donovan Academy is facilitated directly by Ryan Donovan. It is provided one to one or for groups. Organisations often have a shared goal and may need coaching support to see their way through. Similarly, staff teams may have a task set, a change they are grappling with, or working through a management or personnel issue.

Counselling Services

Counselling is provided by Ryan Donovan, an ICF International Coaching Federation Life Coach, Mental Health Trainer and Certified Substance Misuse and Ethical Counselling counsellor. Ryan has worked with people within several areas and offers counselling services in person, online and by telephone. You can find out more about counselling with Ryan at the counselling page at the website. Please also see the counselling and life coaching reviews left below.

Ryan has been coaching me for a couple of months now and it's great to have someone to talk to each week. My life is quite chaotic and I'm working on clarity and focus, especially with regards to my business. We've also worked on how my lifestyle affects my personal relationships, and what my desires actually are, beyond the 'success' in business, and sport. I have big dreams but often get overwhelmed, trying to do too much at once! Ryan is helping me work through some deep-rooted beliefs that I have had since childhood, beliefs that cause me to feel like I am not good enough and that I need to always do more/improve. I know I'm good at what I do but I still often think I need to be 'better', or further ahead, than I am. I am learning self-acceptance, so I can become truly confident in myself, and my ability; as a coach, hypnotherapist and public speaker! I look forward to what the future will bring, as this is only the beginning, and I will always be grateful for Ryan's help! - Jess Roper, 2x English Kickboxing Champion, 2nd degree blackbelt, hypnotherapist, public speaker.

I came to Ryan as a first time for therapy and coaching sessions dealing with childhood trauma. I was able to express difficult emotions and felt I could open up in my own time, which was a first for me!I was drawn to Ryan by his calm, understanding manner and professional approach. Ryan really understood my inner workings and was able to work through these with me, providing tools to help understand myself and get through difficult situations. Alongside working through the trauma, Ryan also worked through other areas in my life. I have learnt so much about myself so far. The results have had positive changes in my life already and changes that will be lifelong. I am truly grateful.

I have been coached by Ryan for a few months now and have experienced so much growth with my mindset in a short space of time thanks to Ryan's help and support in unlocking my inner belief and helping me to dig deeper to discover and resolve the things that hold me back. I always leave a session with piece of mind, learning something new about myself and more clarity on the direction I want to go in. Ryan's very easy to talk to, compassionate and approachable, I highly recommend Ryan if your looking for someone knowledgeable, genuine and relatable whose best interest is in helping others.

I want to thank Ryan for being authentic and honest. I came across Ryan on Facebook and I found it easy to connect, I havent worked with Ryan for long but I feel in a safe space when working with him. Ryan is open and honest about his background and I found this welcoming. He is great at what he does; Listens, questions, and supports you in a way for you to truly listen to your inner self. If you are looking for help and support, I highly recommend Ryan, he is totally awesome!
