All about Alex Nunn
Welcome!
I’m Alex, I’m a psychologist and coach who specialises in wellbeing, burnout prevention and resilient leadership
lovely to meet you.
I’ve spent all of my career, working for and with charities. I started as a volunteer when I was a student, and ended up as a senior leader.
I know how much making a difference means to you.
I know how difficult it feels to be constantly firefighting.
I know how it feels to give your all, but have little left for yourself.
I know the feeling of guilt, when you feel pulled between family and work, and that you’re falling short everywhere.
I know that impossible feeling of whether you should stay or go.
I know that work feels like family, even if it’s a dysfunctional one.
I know how responsible you feel for the wellbeing of your teams, and the communities you serve.
And I know that making a difference starts with you, your charity can’t thrive if you’re only just surviving.
“My sessions with Alex have been a calm anchor point each month and have enabled me to increase my confidence and to reach some difficult decisions. She helped me to sort through my muddled brain. I highly recommend her to anyone feeling totally overwhelmed working in a charity (or 2!) .”
“Working with you helped me have the space to think work through, discuss it in a safe space and feeling validated helped my confidence. ”
My Background
I’ve always be curious about people, and so did a degree in psychology. This led me to working in mental health and floating support services, and I found myself following the well trodden path of charity leadership. And soo enough I found myself as a senior leader for a large London-based homelessness charity.
Along the way I did further training in psychology (a MSc in Mental Health Studies and MSc in Applied Positive Psychology and Coaching Psychology), and realised that what really matters to me is helping brilliant charity leaders make a difference without burning out.
Now I combine 20 years of charity sector experience with evidence based tools and interventions to offer bespoke support to charities and charity leaders.
