“Hayhurst & Co chose to partner with Centrapath due to their specific expertise in burnout prevention and stress management which is a core element of our high performing teams model.

We also felt that their considered and genuine approach would be a good fit for our company values and would resonate with our university clients. In addition, we asked Centrapath's Founder, Helle, to be one of our Associates because we knew that we would benefit from Helle's knowledge and experience as a successful, lifelong entrepreneur.

Helle is also one of the most passionate people we have worked with who believes fully in her mission and gives her all to every project. Over the last two years we have grown the partnership between our organisations to include a range of training, coaching and consultancy products which are tailored specifically for those working in universities where the current pace of change is unprecedented.

These products have been incredibly well received by our clients who also love working with Helle and often comment on the strength of the connection between her and our CEO, Vicky, when they deliver training together. We wouldn't want to do this work with any other organisation.”

"I began working with Helle after experiencing burnout during Covid. As a leader in social care, you give so much of yourself, and through our work together Helle has given me the insight and practical strategies to lead from a place of authenticity.

She has helped me to honour my own work, find a healthier balance, and lead in a way that is sustainable, protecting both myself as a leader and the work I care so deeply about.

Helle has also worked with my team, supporting us to navigate a more meaningful and balanced way of leading our care services. I am deeply grateful to Helle for her wisdom, compassion, and generosity. I will carry her teachings with me into all aspects of my work and my life."

Beth – Company Director, Social Care

“The Burnout in Healthcare workshop conducted by Helle provided us with a valuable and eye-opening experience regarding the stresses faced by frontline staff in the healthcare industry. Helle’s approachability, extensive knowledge, and expertise made the workshop a truly enriching experience.

During the workshop, Helly created an open platform where everyone felt comfortable sharing their experiences. This created a sense of confidence and respect among the participants. Helle divided us into groups of three, encouraging us to open up and discuss our own experiences. This allowed us to gain a deeper understanding of our work-life balance and the triggers for burnout.

Thanks to Helle’s guidance and the interactive nature of the workshop, our team left with a stronger bond and a greater insight into managing the challenges we face as frontline staff.”

“Having worked with a coach previously, I can confidently say that my experience with Helle has been uniquely impactful. Helle has an exceptional ability to help me understand not only what to do, but how to pause, think, and respond when faced with challenges.

Our conversations are consistently deep, thoughtful, and exploratory, yet she ensures they remain highly practical and action-focused. This balance has led to meaningful and tangible progress in both my professional and personal life. I have noticed a significant shift in my mindset, my confidence, and the way I approach decision-making, communication, and complex situations at work and beyond.

Just as importantly, Helle creates a space that feels genuinely safe, supportive, and encouraging. She is warm, approachable, and deeply invested in her clients, which makes it easy to be radically open, reflective, and honest in the coaching work together.

The impact of this coaching has been truly transformative. I would wholeheartedly recommend Helle to anyone seeking a coach who combines insight, care, and accountability in a way that drives real and lasting change. I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to work with her.”

“I was burnt out and seriously considering leaving my role when I started. I had always loved working in healthcare, but the pressure had become too much.

I was surprised to realise how long some of my burnout patterns had been going on without me fully recognising them. Having the space to slow down and reflect helped me make changes that actually felt realistic.

I’m still in my role now and, more importantly, I’m enjoying it again, something I honestly didn’t think would happen.”
