Who We Are

The world’s first holistic stress management consultancy 

Our founders are aligned around a common purpose: to create generative, healthy and resilient organisational nervous systems.

We have drawn on a diverse network of psychologists, behavioural scientists, and HR and OD specialists to inform our position and shape our approach to workplace stress. Everything we do is research-backed and systems-led.

Meet the Team

  • Founder

    Alice founded Stillness Partners after 12 years as director of brand, communications and culture agency Neatline Creative. She has 25 years of experience devising brand, culture and communications strategies and leading programmes for more than 40 businesses worldwide. Her work has largely focused on the role purpose, storytelling, culture and internal engagement play in supporting creativity and enabling business outcomes. Alice is a qualified facilitator, mentor and breathwork coach.

  • Founder

    In addition to Stillness Partners, Rob is the founder of Trana Consulting. For more than 20 years, Rob has worked with a range of organisations to facilitate the skills, mindsets and processes that establish consistent high performance. His focus has largely been on accelerating the development of SMEs, helping leaders embed the culture required for the next phase of their organisation's development.

Stillness, is not the absence of movement or sound. It’s not about focusing on nothingness. It’s about creating a physical and emotional clearing to allow ourselves to feel, think, dream and question.

Our values

From the start, we have grasped the importance and gravity of what we’re doing here. For that reason, our values came, and will always come, first.

Purposeful

Our ambition is to make a real difference in the health and lives of people everywhere. As a result, we are unafraid to challenge leaders to strive for better and make a more meaningful impact.

Pragmatic

We meet clients where they are and provide them with practical and deliverable solutions that meet their specific needs. We recognise the enormous challenge, and adapt and respond accordingly.

Practiced

We embody what we promote, in ourselves, with clients, and in our business. We aim to represent best practice for stress management in our own organisation, and to promote a positive pro-stress mindset.

Proof-led

We operate from a place of facts and science, and build our recommendations from there. We also recognise the field is ever-evolving, and so we seek to continuously measure and improve.
