Exmet Mental Health Training
Created from experience, built for real conversations
Informed by real operational experience. Designed for real life & real workplaces.
Exmet Mental Health training gives people the practical skills and confidence to recognise when someone may be struggling, start a conversation, listen effectively and know what to do next.
Designed for organisations, teams and individuals — including those working in demanding, high-pressure and safety-critical environments.
You don't need to be a mental health professional to have a conversation that genuinely helps someone
Exmet Mental Health Training
When somebody is struggling, the first person they speak to is often not a counsellor, psychologist or doctor.
It may be a colleague.
A manager.
A friend.
Someone sitting beside them during a coffee break.
Or simply the person who notices that something doesn't seem quite right.
What happens in that first conversation can matter.
Exmet Mental Health Training across our three courses gives people the confidence, knowledge and practical skills to notice, connect, listen, support and signpost — while understanding the boundaries of their role.
About the Founder
Andy
Founder & Lead Instructor
Andy brings together experience from two demanding professional environments — policing and aviation — alongside practical experience supporting mental wellbeing in the workplace.
He served for 30 years as a police officer in London, developing a first-hand understanding of the pressures faced by people working in challenging, unpredictable and sometimes traumatic environments.
Today, Andy continues his involvement within policing as a Mental Health First Aider within a UK police force, providing peer support to colleagues who may be experiencing difficulties.
He has also developed a professional career in aviation, providing another perspective on human wellbeing and performance within highly regulated, safety-critical environments where standards and expectations are necessarily high.
These experiences — policing, aviation, training and workplace mental health support — ultimately led to the development of Exmet Mental Wellbeing
And the aim is to give ordinary people the confidence to respond when somebody in front of them is struggling
Why We Created Exmet Mental Wellbeing
People don't always need somebody to fix things. Sometimes they need somebody who notices, asks, listens — and knows what to do next.
My understanding of mental wellbeing hasn't come solely from qualifications or training courses. It has also been shaped by decades spent working with people in demanding, high-pressure environments.
I spent 30 years as a frontline police officer in London and have also worked professionally in aviation, both in the cockpit and as an instructor.
They are very different worlds, but they share something important: responsibility matters, pressure is real, and sometimes people struggle.
I've supported colleagues through difficult and traumatic situations, as well as the more everyday pressures of life — stress, relationships, bereavement, anxiety, exhaustion and times when things simply become too much.
That experience helped shape Exmet Mental Wellbeing: practical, evidence-informed training that gives ordinary people the confidence and skills to notice, start a conversation and respond appropriately.

Why We Created Exmet Mental Wellbeing
People don't always need somebody to fix things. Sometimes they need somebody who notices, asks, listens — and knows what to do next.
My understanding of mental wellbeing hasn't come solely from qualifications or training. It has also been shaped by decades working with people in demanding, high-pressure environments, particularly policing and aviation.
I've supported colleagues through many traumatic incidents and crises, but also through the everyday pressures of life — stress, relationships, bereavement, anxiety, exhaustion and times when things simply became too much.
Those experiences helped shape Exmet Mental Wellbeing: practical, evidence-informed training that gives ordinary people the confidence and skills to notice, start a conversation and respond appropriately.
