WB Wellbeing
ABOUT US
Wylam Billington (WB) Wellbeing is a collaborative project created by Dr Jaimee Wylam and Dr Martin Billington.
We began working together when we discovered a shared interest in improving the wellbeing of health care workers in 2017.
From our base in South Yorkshire, we deliver and facilitate virtual and in person education for a variety of professionals, including doctors, healthcare workers and others working in the public sector.
WHAT WE DO
Using interactive workshops both online and in person, we offer a safe space to explore wellbeing. Those attending workshops have space and time to hear about our experiences, and to share their own.
A variety of exercises are used to provide opportunities to reflect, offer top tips and explore practical skills for wellbeing.
Participant feedback regularly highlights the value of hearing personal stories and these are used as the background to a rich learning experience exploring the workplace, self care and wellbeing.
SERVICES
We offer a range of online and in-person services including:

PERFECTIONISM
WORKSHOP
This workshop will help delegates to understand what perfectionism is, consider how it impacts in different parts of their lives, and explore how we find the balance between unhealthy perfectionism and healthy pursuit of excellence.
Perfectionism traits are common in many professionals. Whilst such traits can drive up standards, they also have the potential to impact on stress levels. Perfectionists don't think they are perfect, they often feel they are not good enough.​
ONLINE OR IN-PERSON
AWAY DAY WORKSHOP
Away days are a key opportunity to come together as a team. They provide opportunities to learn about each other and how you can work well together.
We can work collaboratively support your away day. This might include facilitating the whole day or delivering a workshop as part of the day. We can use our varied skills and experiences to support a timetable that is tailored to the needs of your team.
