Justin Gilbert - Founder of Beacon Mindset

Human-to-human connection is critical. Beacon Mindset supports organisations to create and sustain cultures where people feel safe to speak about their mental - as well as - physical fitness.

Forty years after losing my father to suicide, and following my own lived experience of burnout and recovery, I founded Beacon Mindset to support workplaces in navigating the conversations most people fear.

Beacon Mindset offers calm, courageous support for leaders, teams and organisations navigating mental health, learning, and transformation — with a human touch (and often, a wagging tail!). Beacon Mindset tackles tough topics (e.g. burn-out, suicide etc.) with clarity, compassion and confidence — because people deserve to feel safe, heard & supported at work.

She brings these topics to life in a way that is both practical and deeply human, creating space for honest conversations while offering real, actionable insight

Her breadth of knowledge and ability to conduct rigorous research and apply critical thinking with speed (and a smile) make for the best possible outputs and outcomes. I recommend Justina without reservation.

  • I just wanted to reach out and say a huge thank you for leading the MHFA course. It far exceeded my expectations and I learned so much. Your knowledge, enthusiasm, and engaging approach made the virtual training feel as though we were all together in person, which is no easy task! Thank you for creating such a positive and supportive learning environment. If every team had a Justina, the workplace would be a much better place.
