About The Mind Solution

Founder, Sara Maude
Sara’s HR career spans across 12 years working for Debenhams, Brighton and Sussex University Hospital, The Grand Hotel in Brighton, Carnival UK, The Home Office, British Airways and Virgin Atlantic.
Her lightbulb moment came in 2010, midway through her HR career, while training in Solution Focused Psychotherapy and Hypnotherapy.
That’s when everything clicked.
- What if employees had a working understanding of how their minds actually operate?
- What if managers could support mental health without fear or over-functioning?
- What if wellbeing wasn’t reactive, but built into the way we work?
Today, Sara brings her corporate HR experience together with thousands of hours of therapeutic and coaching practice to transform the way organisations think about mental health, leadership, and resilience.
She’s also contributed to Sir Richard Branson’s Screw Business As Usual book after a conversation on flexible working that challenged the norm, just like her work does today.
“Absolutely brilliant note. Thank you so much for taking the time and trouble. I’ve asked Steve Ridgway to get the team thinking hard based on your note. Will also incorporate some of it in the paperback edition of a new book I’m writing ‘Screw Business As Usual’” – Sir Richard Branson
