Platfform Wellbeing, a social enterprise providing workplace wellbeing support, training and counselling, is celebrating two years since merging its successful counselling arm, formerly known as Breathe, with Platfform’s workplace services.
Since the merger, the organisation has worked with businesses and leadership teams across the UK to create healthier, more compassionate workplaces. Its services have expanded significantly, now supporting a wide range of sectors, including corporate businesses, educational institutions, and non-profits, helping them embed wellbeing into their workplace culture.
A core principle of Platfform Wellbeing’s approach is a long-term, preventative strategy for understanding mental health and wellbeing—focusing on sustainable change rather than reactive solutions.
As part of Platfform, a charity dedicated to sustainable mental health, Platfform Wellbeing was established to provide relationship-focused, person-centred support to people and organisations. Over the past two years, it has offered expert-led consultancy, training on a range of topics, as well as supervision and reflective practice, equipping teams with the tools to focus on connection and psychological safety.
The counselling arm, which began as a small service, has since grown into a team of over 85 professionals and has earned accreditation from the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), a recognised mark of quality and professionalism in the field.
“Workplace wellbeing is not just about offering support when things go wrong; it is about creating environments where people feel valued, heard, and supported every day,” said Pete Johnson, Commercial Director. “A trauma-informed approach enables organisations to move beyond quick fixes and towards meaningful, lasting change.
“Organisations are recognising that real change starts with leadership. By equipping senior teams with the skills to lead with compassion in confidence, workplaces can shift from reactive support to a proactive, preventative approach.
“We are incredibly proud to celebrate this significant milestone of two years as Platfform Wellbeing. Our journey from a modest start in Cardiff, to a BACP accredited service which encompasses mental health as well as wellbeing support, connects with Platfform’s strategic vision for sustainable wellbeing for all.”
