hi, hello.
i’m brinny.
After nearly a decade working in radio, journalism and advertising, I burnt out.
Rebuilding my life - and later understanding myself as neurodivergent and non-binary - completely changed how I thought about work, wellbeing and the spaces we’re expected to function in.
Now, I’m a coach, facilitator and community builder working to make those spaces more accessible, affirming and inclusive.
That might mean helping a workplace rethink how people participate, communicate and stay well. It might mean creating a movement space where someone finally feels comfortable exercising. Or it might mean helping one person work out what they need to feel more like themselves.
Over the past several years, I’ve supported hundreds of people through workshops, coaching, movement, mindfulness and community spaces - with a particular focus on LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent people.
The common thread is simple: what helps people truly take part, feel good and belong - and what gets in the way?
I work across workplace wellbeing, workshops, one-to-one coaching, movement and community, with accessibility, autonomy, inclusion and joy at the heart of how I work.
In 2024, I founded Queer Strength Club, creating movement and community spaces for queer and trans people built around connection, choice, safety and joy.
Alongside growing QSC, I deliver wellbeing sessions for Calm and other organisations around the world, work with people one-to-one, and speak at events and festivals.
Whether I’m working in a workplace, a movement space or one-to-one, the aim is the same:
to create environments where people don’t have to work so hard just to take part.
I help make the places people work, move and connect more accessible, affirming and human.
Brinny Does… a lot. Scroll down to see what that looks like, how I work and where we might work together.
Workplace Training, Wellbeing & Inclusion
Training in neuroinclusion, psychological safety, burnout prevention, stress, mental health, inclusive leadership and LGBTQ+ inclusion.
Practical, interactive sessions that help people participate, communicate and stay well - while helping organisations think differently about the environments they create.
Workshops, leadership sessions, mindfulness + meditation, movement, talks, creative pop-ups and consultancy.
I work with organisations to make workplaces more accessible, inclusive and sustainable - especially for people navigating stress, burnout, neurodivergence, change and environments that weren’t designed with everyone in mind.
The aim isn’t just to help people cope better with difficult environments.
It’s to help organisations look at what they can change too.
This includes my ongoing partnership with Calm, delivering workshops, leadership sessions, mindfulness and meditation for global audiences.
I’ve also worked with organisations including Great Ormond Street Hospital, Cheltenham Festivals and Gaydio.
Sessions can be shaped around your people, your challenges and what you actually want to shift - rather than dropping in a one-size-fits-all wellbeing session.
Available online or in person for workshops, talks, panels, consultancy and bespoke training.
Contact me to talk about what might work for your team.
Coaching and Movement
One-to-one support for people who want to feel stronger, more comfortable in themselves, clearer about what they need, or simply a bit more supported through whatever life is throwing at them.
My sessions are practical, adaptable and built around the person in front of me with plenty of room to change the plan.
Life Coaching
A space to untangle what’s going on, work out what matters and find practical ways forward.
This might include work, burnout, confidence, boundaries, routines, identity, overwhelm, big changes or simply feeling a bit stuck.
I’ve been coaching people for 10 years, and my approach is curious, collaborative and grounded in real life rather than trying to optimise every part of it.
Personal Training
Supportive strength and movement sessions focused on helping you feel more confident, capable and comfortable in your body.
I especially love working with people who haven’t always felt at home in traditional fitness spaces, and helping them build a better relationship with exercise.
My work can also support people preparing for, going through or returning to movement after gender-affirming care.
In-person sessions take place in a supportive, private gym environment in Macclesfield.
Mind + Movement
For times when you want something gentler or more regulating.
These sessions combine movement, mindfulness and nervous-system-friendly practices in a low-sensory environment.
Depending on what you need, that might include guided mindfulness, mobility, restorative movement, slow strength work or simply creating some space to reconnect with yourself.
All sessions are shaped around you - your energy, your goals and what feels useful that day.
Available online or in person in Macclesfield.
Get in touch here to ask a question, talk through what might suit you, or book a taster session.
Queer Strength Club
QSC is about having fun, finding what feels good for you and connecting with community in a welcoming, supportive movement space.
I founded Queer Strength Club in 2024 to create the kind of gym environment I wanted to see more of - one where LGBTQIA+ people could feel safer, more affirmed and more able to take part without having to fit themselves into a traditional fitness culture.
Since then, I’ve supported hundreds of people through classes, events and community sessions, helping people build confidence with movement, connect with others and find a way of exercising that feels more like theirs.
QSC started in Brighton and now runs in Macclesfield, with more pop-ups and community sessions planned elsewhere.

My approach, in a nutshell
I care about the environments people are being asked to exist in - and what those environments are asking of them.
Whether I’m working with a workplace, a coaching client, a movement group or a community, I’m always asking:
What would make this easier to take part in, more affirming to be in, and more likely to actually work for the people here?
That might mean more choice. More clarity. More flexibility. A different environment. Or simply noticing something that hasn’t been considered yet.
My work is about creating spaces where people can feel more comfortable, more connected and more able to be themselves.
If you’re trying to create something more inclusive, accessible or human - I’d love to hear about it.
