Our Approach

Resources
A HOLISTIC approach
to company wellbeing

There is no one size fits all solution when it comes to employee mental health. That’s why we work with our clients to understand their challenges and create a programme tailored to them; delivering maximum impact for employees and value for the organisation.
Luminate is a UK-based workplace mental health and wellbeing consultancy, founded in 2015 by Mel Crate. We design and deliver training, workshops, and ongoing wellbeing programmes that help organisations support their people's mental health at work; from one-off sessions to year-long, company-wide partnerships.

We are proud to say we are a certified B Corporation (with a score of 87.3), and since 2015 we've delivered training to over 500 organisations and more than 100,000 employees.

What we do

We help organisations build genuinely supportive workplaces, not through one-off awareness days, but through ongoing programmes tailored to each team. 

Our services include:

  •  Company-wide wellbeing programmes, built around your organisation's specific needs

  •  Mental Health Awareness and Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training

  •  Manager training, so leaders feel equipped to support their teams

  •  Workshops and webinars on topics from burnout to menopause to financial wellbeing

  •  1-2-1 counselling and coaching with accredited practitioners

  •  Luminate On Demand, our on-demand wellbeing content library

  •  Wellbeing experiences, mindfulness sessions, and team building days

We work with organisations of every size, from fast-growing startups to universities and global enterprises, across in-person, hybrid, and fully remote teams.

Who we are & how we work


Every programme starts with a conversation. We assess what your organisation actually needs rather than offering a generic package, deliver training grounded in psychology and behavioural science, and measure its impact so you know it's working.

Whether it’s just a single stress management session or a full-scale wellbeing programme, our training is designed to get everyone emotionally invested in their individual and collective wellbeing.

Luminate's team includes MHFA England-certified instructors, BACP accredited therapists and coaches, and specialists in areas from financial wellbeing to nutrition. But most importantly every individual is incredibly passionate about what they do and wants to make a genuine difference in your workplace. Read more about our team on our Meet the Team page.

THE PROOF & WHY IT MATTERS TO US


Ensuring that our training hits the mark and provides real-world value is at the top of our agenda. 
 
We provide impact reports on all of our sessions and use this insight to inform next steps to keep driving your wellbeing agenda forward. 

We don't just say it works.

We started Luminate because we believe mental health support at work shouldn't be an afterthought. Our mission is simple: to rewrite the story of mental health in the workplace, making it as normal to talk about as physical health, and giving every employee genuine, practical support.

What they've said

We ran a programme of workshops with Luminate in 2018. The workshops were informative, useful, punchy and to the point. We thought Mel was brilliant. She had an interesting and innovative way of presenting the information, she was very knowledgeable on the subjects and was able to provide additional advice and support to staff. After the sessions, many of our staff members sent us feedback on how useful and helpful the sessions were. We will be definitely running more sessions with Luminate. On a personal level, we found working with Mel easy and very pleasant experience. I would highly recommend them.

Petya Dimit, HR Manager

Cambridge Judge Business School

Mel delivered a brilliant and eye opening lunchtime workshop on mental wellbeing in the workplace.  It was interactive and informative and even just having a range of employees together in one room talking about this topic started to break down the stigma and normalise such a common issue.

Thank you Mel, your work has never been more important than it is now.  We can’t wait to have you back in the office!

Jen Christie, Associate Director

SR Group

We engaged Luminate to run mental health awareness training with our managers. Mel’s delivery style was very positive and we felt the training had the desired positive impact.

Different learning styles were taken into account, as well the levels of experience in the groups. Feedback from participants was very good overall and the training provided a foundation for good management practice.

I can recommend Luminate as a training provider that is completely reliable, works to high standards and in partnership with their clients.
