Jamie Karl Coupe

Mental Health Speaker & Mentor

Jamie Karl Coupe is a passionate Mental Health Mentor and Speaker specialising in Masculine Mental Health and Solution Focussed Suicide Prevention. He is a returning speaker and consultant at some of the most prestigious educational organisations in the United Kingdom.

Jamie spoke to over 1700 students across the country this year and helped a number of private clients, and their families with mental health challenges, addiction, direction, purpose and well-being. 

2026 saw Jamie launch the company Primal Grace, inspired by the Philosophy he has been pioneering and his worldwide retreat work. It integrates research, science, tradition, biology and psychology to form an effective and comprehensive framework to prevent suicide and support young people with their mental, physical and emotional wellbeing.  

Speaking & Workshops

The mental health crisis among young people is one of the most pressing challenges of our time, with young men being particularly vulnerable. Suicide remains the leading cause of death among young men, and the stigma surrounding mental health continues to prevent many from seeking the help they need. Jamie’s mission is to challenge the status quo, fostering a culture where every young person feels empowered to seek support, break free from this stigma, and know that no struggle has to end in silence.

This issue affects everyone - directly or indirectly. Young women, as friends, partners, siblings, or peers, play a crucial role in supporting the mental health of those around them while also facing their own considerable mental health challenges. Understanding the unique struggles that young men encounter can empower everyone to foster more compassionate, supportive environments that encourage open conversations and ultimately help young people overcome their challenges and express vulnerability.

This isn’t just a conversation about mental health - it’s a call to action.

Men’s Coaching & Mentoring

Young men face a specific set of issues when it comes to emotional health, psychology, socialisation and personal development.

I have been mentored by industry leaders such as Oliver Chittenden, Daniele Bolelli, Charlie Cannon, and Hamish Mackay-Lewis. My philosophy ‘Primal Grace’ threads together the wisdom and practices passed down by my mentors, blending a deep understanding of our physiological needs as human beings with a compassionate, solution-focused approach. Drawing on the benefits of modern science, therapy and psychological insights.

Working one-to-one our aim is to create a framework that fosters emotional resilience, psychological health and true self realised well-being.

Testimonials

Jamie is able to connect with those around him - particularly young people - with clarity and enthusiasm, which will stand him in good stead as a therapeutic counsellor. In his talks for Create Studios he has shown a directness and empathy around mental health and wellbeing as integral to the creative process, and he connected with marginalised participants, particularly boys with his direct and compassionate approach around wellbeing.

  • Shahina Johnson MBE (CEO Create Studios)

"I taught Jamie on a weekend CPD group for working with children and young people with symptoms of depression. Throughout the weekend he offered incredibly helpful insights and reflections that appeared to be very much valued by the group as a whole. They were also, in my opinion, a reflection of advanced counselling skill, patience, maturity and ability. Considering he is so early in training, these skills are very promising indeed for him going forward. It appears as though he has chosen a path very well aligned to his passions, abilities and interests"

  • Dr Penny Utton, Chartered Counselling Psychologist

Jamie is a master of empathy. His listening skills are second to none. And he genuinely treats whoever he is talking with 100% attention and interest. He makes people feel seen and understood. At that point, he doesn't need to convince them to listen to his insights, since they already want to.

  • Daniele Bolleli, Author, Lecturer and Martial Artist


Just before our Upper Sixth headed back into lessons after their mock exams, we gathered in the Pavilion to hear Jamie Coupe deliver a powerful, passionate and insightful presentation on mental health and wellbeing.

Jamie focused a great deal on the importance of celebrating vulnerability in friendships. He drew on his highly resonant personal experiences, his own struggles and he shared advice with our students on how to navigate the online world which often seems dominated by a lack of healthy and positive male role models. The presentation was followed by a series of six workshops, which made for a rather busy and chatty morning.

Jamie will be returning in June to work with our Lower Sixth students and we are so looking forward to having him with us again.

  • John Davies (Headmaster Dauntsey’s School)

In the days following Jamie’s talk at the school we had at least 6 young people self-refer to the counselling service for help. In addition to this we had so much positive feedback from clients and students around breakthroughs and insights into their own Wellbeing after taking part in ‘The 10 Pillars Of Wellbeing Test’. Jamie is a force of nature. 

  • Carole and Ruth (Counselling Service at Dauntsey’s School)


There are so many themes and aspects of Jamie’s talk that struck a chord with our students, but the most important element for me was that Jamie is a storyteller who is able to connect with young people in a unique and powerful way; a way that is a rather rare thing these days.
