Transform workplace wellbeing with Alistair Appleton, speaker specialising in mental health, meditation and diversity. Alistair works with organisations to reduce stress and promote inclusivity, delivering powerful techniques backed by Buddhist principles and psychotherapy expertise.
Alistair Appleton built his career as a TV presenter before training in Buddhist meditation and psychotherapy, work he now brings to organisations through talks and workshops on stress, mindfulness, and wellbeing. As an openly gay public figure, he also speaks from direct experience on the challenges facing the LGBT+ community and the value of workplace inclusion.
Alistair combines psychotherapeutic training with traditional Buddhist meditation practice, giving audiences practical techniques for managing stress and finding calm rather than abstract theory. His sessions cover mindfulness, meditation, and stress management, adapted for people with no prior experience of the practices as much as for those familiar with them.
He also speaks on diversity and inclusion, drawing on his own experience to make the case for why inclusive workplaces make better decisions. Alistair delivers this work through in-person workshops, speaking engagements, and online sessions, making his approach to mental wellbeing accessible across formats.
Book Alistair Appleton as a speaker to inspire your team with his profound insights on mental health, mindfulness, and inclusivity. His unique blend of psychotherapy and Buddhist meditation offers practical strategies for achieving peace and contentment. Alistair's personal journey and expertise make him a compelling advocate for diversity and overall wellness.
