Background

About Ben Saxton

As a dedicated mental health professional and experienced General Manager, I bring a unique blend of business experience and a deep commitment to mental health and wellbeing. Throughout my career, I have successfully led large teams, managed complex operations, and implemented innovative strategies that drive both business success and positive cultural change. My approach has always been people-centred, whether it’s leading hotel teams to deliver exceptional service or supporting individuals through challenges with empathy and understanding. Currently pursuing a Master of Counselling at the University of Canberra, I am expanding my expertise in diversity, inclusion, and advanced counselling skills. This academic journey has deepened my passion for helping others and reinforced my belief in the importance of creating inclusive environments where everyone feels valued and respected. My studies complement my leadership expertise, allowing me to approach mental health roles with both practical knowledge and a strategic mindset. I am particularly passionate about roles that involve culture, capability building, and diversity initiatives, where I can contribute to creating supportive and empowering environments. My goal is to make a meaningful impact in the mental health field by leveraging my skills to support individuals and communities in a holistic and compassionate manner.
