Nick Wilson

Nick Wilson is a powerful and inspirational mental health speaker whose advocacy is deeply rooted in lived experience. A former soldier with 14 years of service in the British Army, Nick has faced both visible and invisible battles, including chronic physical pain and complex mental health conditions such as PTSD and depression. Following a suicide attempt and period of healing through Combat Stress, Nick chose to channel his experiences into helping others, establishing himself as a passionate men’s mental health campaigner and speaker.

After selling a successful chauffeuring business, Nick founded Wellbeing 360, later evolving into 360Wellbeing CIC, a social enterprise dedicated to promoting mental wellbeing through education, support, and training. He also became qualified in CBT, Mental Health First Aid, and NLP, equipping him with tools to support others more effectively. In 2020, he further cemented his role as an advocate by founding Talk Mental Health CIC, an organisation focused on reducing stigma around men’s mental health and providing peer-led support. His commitment to this cause was underscored in 2021 when he completed 385 miles on a specialised trike in tribute to the 385 men lost to suicide each month in the UK.

Nick’s work extends beyond individual support to societal impact. Through the hashtags #Realmentalk and #Timetolisten, his 2018–2019 mental health campaigns reached an estimated 250,000 people and directly saved the lives of 10 individuals. He has also raised over £75,000 for charity, and his resilience and advocacy have earned him recognition as Role Model of the Year at the 2021 English Veterans Awards and ‘Changemaker’ in 2022. He is also a Global Goodwill Ambassador, highlighting the breadth of his contribution to community wellbeing.

Today, Nick is a sought-after keynote speaker, specialising in mental health, disability awareness, suicide prevention, and transition. As a newly disabled wheelchair user, his talks offer an authentic, human perspective on recovery, self-management, and inclusion. Whether addressing corporate teams or public forums, Nick’s compelling story and tireless advocacy continue to break down stigma and inspire lasting change in how society approaches mental health.
