In this episode of The Therapy Suite, Gavin J chats with Advita Patel, founder of CommsRebel and a leading expert in diversity, inclusion, and internal communications. Advita shares her journey from working in internal communications for 17 years to establishing CommsRebel in 2020.

This led her to start CommsRebel, a consultancy aimed at building inclusive cultures through effective communication. Advita and Gavin discuss the impact of workplace culture on mental wellbeing, especially in the fast-paced, digital age. They explore how unrealistic expectations and constant comparison can damage self-esteem and mental health. Advita highlights the importance of creating psychologically safe environments where employees feel confident to speak up and be themselves.
She shares practical steps for leaders to foster such cultures, including listening more than speaking and recognising non-verbal cues. The conversation also touches on the challenges of remote working and the need for structure and boundaries to maintain wellbeing. Advita's insights are not only relevant for leaders but also for anyone struggling with confidence and mental health in the workplace. Her advice on building confidence through action and self-recognition is both practical and inspiring.
