1:1 Faculty Staff Support | Wellbeing Suites
A Dedicated, On-Demand Pastoral Containment for Your Entire Faculty.
Managing a modern educational setting places an unprecedented emotional and psychological demand on your staff. To protect a team from mid-term burnout, lower stress-related absences, and retain our most experienced educators, leadership must provide more than surface-level wellness initiatives.
We must provide professional infrastructure.
The Calming Collective
A comprehensive, institutional mental health infrastructure built to reduce mid-term burnout, support staff retention, and mitigate long-term sick leave cover costs:
-
1:1 Confidential Staff Support
A rolling framework of bounded, professional Restorative Conversations for individual educators. These private sessions specialise in burnout management, menopause navigation, grief, loss, and life’s major structural transitions.
-
Protecting the Canopy
Specialist, private 1:1 advisory and energy-preservation mentorship integrated directly within this suite for Headteachers, Nursery Managers, and Senior Leaders. It provides a dedicated, confidential sanctuary to decompress and find steady ground, because we all know that the higher you climb, the lonelier it can become.
The Faculty Staff Wellbeing Suites
Our dedicated 1:1 Faculty Staff Wellbeing Suites are delivered at a flat institutional rate of £600 per month structured as a rolling school-term contract.
Under this partnership agreement, I set aside one full, dedicated day each month exclusively for your setting. This day is utilised to deliver private, deeply confidential 1:1 online coaching and somatic regulation sanctuaries for the members of your faculty who feel it would be beneficial.
Whether an educator is navigating acute workplace stress, mid-career burnout, the heavy shifts of peri/menopause, or personal grief and loss, these sessions offer a calm, compassionate, and safe space to slow down, regulate their nervous systems, and find their feet again.
Grounded in 25 Years of Educational Seniority
My entire career is rooted in 25years of classroom teaching, pastoral leadership & mental health. Due to this, I don't operate like an outside corporate coach who doesn't understand the system. I comprehensively understand the relentless pressures of a busy classroom, timetable strains, exam cycles, and inspection frameworks.
-
Total Confidentiality:
All staff sessions are strictly confidential, creating a completely safe space outside the school management hierarchy where teachers can untangle their thoughts without judgment.
-
Proactive Legal Duty:
UK schools hold strict legal obligations under the Equality Act 2010 and Health and Safety legislation to protect staff navigating severe menopause symptoms. By implementing a formal retainer, leadership actively demonstrates a documented, robust framework of "reasonable adjustments" to mitigate workplace discrimination and compliance risks.
While international host countries operate under varied local employment frameworks, leading global settings frequently look to the British Schools Overseas (BSO) quality indicators to guide their workplace culture. In partnering with Hygg-Ed, your international setting will be able to gently and proactively demonstrate a visible, documented commitment to staff preservation, ensuring your global team feels cared for on every step of their professional journey.
-
Standard Safeguarding Compliance :
All sessions are held in strict accordance with standard school safeguarding frameworks. While conversations are entirely confidential, professional boundaries are firmly maintained ensuring total safety and immediate, responsible management if a risk of harm to self or others is ever identified.
Supporting educators, middle leaders and senior leaders.
Support Beyond Hygg-Ed
Sometimes greater understanding also helps us recognise when we, or somebody we care about, may need additional support.
Hygg-Ed complements rather than replaces medical, psychological or other specialist services.
Contacts beyond Hygg-Ed brings together organisations and sources of further information, advice and support for those who may need something beyond what Hygg-Ed provides.
