Meet the Walk N Talk team

Hi, I’m Jude – a passionate mental health advocate, Founder and CEO of Walk N Talk 4 Mental Health, and a voice for change in how we talk about mental health. The charity was built on a simple but powerful idea: that conversation and connection can change lives. Drawing on my lived experience of mental health challenges, I’ve turned personal adversity into a driving force for change, breaking down stigma and creating safe spaces where people feel seen, heard, and valued.

Motivated by a diverse background in psychology, art psychotherapy, teaching, training, and life experience, I bring an eclectic mix of skills to my work. Living with dyslexia and dyspraxia has shaped me, but also revealed hidden strengths – resilience, creativity, and a different way of seeing the world.

As a Mental Health First Aid Instructor, Thrive Instructor Partner, and advocate for neurodiversity in the workplace, I combine professional expertise with authenticity and openness. My work spans from grassroots walks that bring communities together, to training sessions and talks that inspire people to rethink mental health, inclusion, and resilience.

Above all, I’m passionate about helping others find their voice, embrace difference, and take small steps that lead to big change.

Nathali Danieli is the Fundraising Manager at Walk N Talk 4 Mental Health, where she leads the organisation’s fundraising strategy by identifying new income streams and overseeing grant applications aligned with its mission. She is dedicated to ensuring the sustainability and growth of the charity, enabling it to continue supporting individuals through meaningful mental health initiatives.

Nathali was drawn to Walk N Talk because of its genuine purpose in creating a positive impact through raising awareness of mental health. She strongly believes in the importance of self-kindness and the value of building safe, supportive spaces—free from taboos, pressure, and labels—where people can feel heard and empowered to live happier, healthier lives.

Outside of her professional role, Nathali enjoys rock climbing, travelling, and getting lost in a good book.

Hello,

I am a Trustee for Walk N Talk 4 Mental Health. I enjoy getting involved with the walks.

I am a Mental Health First-Aider, having completed the course a few years ago with Jude Price as our instructor.

When Jude approached me with her idea of a Walk N Talk charity, I jumped at the chance to get involved.

During the first COVID-19 lockdown, I’d realised how much going for walks really helped my own mental health and well-being, and was keen to help others.

Having had a family members and staff members who struggled with their mental health, because of various life events and physical health issues, I feel that having something to plug that gap between doing nothing and getting professional help is going to be vital to improving the mental health of the whole nation.

I support the operational side of Walk N Talk, helping to organise systems, processes, and tools that keep the team running smoothly. My role focuses on improving coordination, supporting team members and ensuring things work efficiently behind the scenes. I joined Walk N Talk because I really believe in creating safe spaces where people can talk openly and feel supported. It’s something that genuinely matters to me and I wanted to be part of a community that makes a difference.

I have a soft spot for both organised systems and dentistry. Outside of that, I like reading and painting and I’m always up for a quiet walk!

My role is to help to get the story of Walk N Talk out to as many people as possible, through website content, newsletters and blogs! I was drawn to Walk N Talk immediately because I have personally experienced huge mental health benefits from walking and sharing my feelings within my friendship group. I’m proud that Andover has this hidden gem in the community, and that so many more people can feel the benefits because of it. Outside of work I enjoy walking (of course!), socialising, music events, reading and (slowly) learning the guitar!

I manage the entire marketing operations for Walk N Talk 4 Mental Health: from event marketing plans to content creation to branding and community outreach. Raising awareness of the support available through the charity is central to everything that I do.

I joined Walk N Talk because I understand first-hand how deeply mental health can impact every aspect of a person’s life. I’m passionate about helping others feel less alone with their mental health, and if I can make a difference to even one person, then I’ve achieved my goal. I truly believe Walk N Talk can be a lifeline for those who need support.

Outside of work, my biggest achievement is that I have a Master of Science in Clinical and Developmental Neuropsychology. I find everything to do with our weird and wonderful brains fascinating and am always exploring ways to learn more!
