Take Charge Wellbeing

Take Charge Wellbeing – Founded by Darren Peterson

Darren is a mental health trainer, award-winning facilitator, and the founder of Take Charge Wellbeing. After growing up in Wales and working FIFO across Australia, Darren has dedicated his life to helping people build real-world confidence and improve their wellbeing through practical, down-to-earth workshops.

Ironically, Darren was once petrified of public speaking — a fear that stemmed from difficult experiences in his younger years. He knows firsthand what it feels like to go blank, shake with nerves, or avoid speaking altogether. That’s exactly why he created his Public Speaking for Beginners course: to give others the tools, strategies, and support he wishes he’d had.

His events are built on lived experience, humour, and evidence-based methods. They’re designed to be accessible, interactive, and encouraging — no jargon, no judgment, just real growth.

Take Charge Wellbeing also offers mental health workshops, workplace wellbeing programs, and customised visualisation tools — all with the same core mission: helping people take charge of the small stuff before it becomes big stuff
