About Talk Buddy
We're not building a wellbeing company. We're building better workplaces.
Talk Buddy began with a simple belief: support still misses too many people who need it most. We're here to change that.
Our story
It started with Brian's dad.
Brian's father was a police officer. A kind, steady man who took pride in helping others and doing a difficult job well. He saw parts of life most people never have to see.
He'd come home after long shifts carrying things his family couldn't always see or understand. Like so many of his generation, he simply got on with it.
There was no real support. No language around mental health. No expectation that someone strong and capable might also need looking after.
Brian grew up seeing the man behind the uniform. Through his own experience in professional sport, leadership and counselling, one thing stayed with him: people carry far more than the world around them knows.
He couldn't change what was there for his father. He could help change what was there for the people who came next.
"Good enough should never be the standard when people's wellbeing is involved."
Brian Davies, Founder & CEO
At Talk Buddy, we stay close to our partners, keep listening to the people we exist to support, and never become comfortable simply doing what the industry has always done.
What we stand by
Our values shape everything we do.
People first. Always.
We put people at the centre of every decision, service and outcome.
Challenge the expected.
We question convention. We rethink the format. We keep moving wellbeing forward.
Keep raising the standard.
We continually ask how wellbeing can reach further, work better and create more value.
