Who we are
Start your mental health journey with Sam Garner
Balanced People was founded by Sam Garner and her (current) husband, Adam Latham.
Sam and Adam both believe that much mental wellbeing support is unrealistic, not suitable for everyone, and sometimes boring. They created Balanced People to be personalised mental wellbeing services that are accessible and easy to use whilst hopefully having some fun.
Join the Balanced Family today and start loving the life you want to live, not the life someone thinks you should live.
Meet the Balanced People

Sam
Sam is a mental health consultant with a variety of mental health and wellbeing qualifications.
She is passionate about simplifying mental health research and making support accessible for everyone.
As a fat, middle aged woman, she also has a lot of life experience and has ongoing lived experience of depression.
Adam
Adam has a nerdy background and is the technical person behind Balanced People Ltd.
His passion is cricket and he can talk about it for hours and hours!
Clearly he’s also camera-shy – hence the photo…


Lauren
I’m Lauren, I’m a mentally ill girly who spends far too much time on TikTok.
I’m currently completing a Masters in Marketing and Digital Communications after previously working in Creative Media.
When I’m not stressing, I spend my spare time hanging out with my dog and reading.
Lisa
I’m Lisa and I manage the Balanced People offices.
This mostly involves making sure everyone knows where they’re supposed to be, and when – along with making sure we stay in touch with our members when they contact us.
When I’m not doing that, I can usually be found walking my dog in the Devon countryside!
