Alistair Appleton
Transform workplace wellbeing with Alistair Appleton, speaker specialising in mental health, meditation and diversity. Alistair works with organisations to reduce stress and promote inclusivity, delivering powerful techniques backed by Buddhist principles and psychotherapy expertise.
Alistair Appleton built his career as a TV presenter before training in Buddhist meditation and psychotherapy, work he now brings to organisations through talks and workshops on stress, mindfulness, and wellbeing. As an openly gay public figure, he also speaks from direct experience on the challenges facing the LGBT+ community and the value of workplace inclusion.
Alistair combines psychotherapeutic training with traditional Buddhist meditation practice, giving audiences practical techniques for managing stress and finding calm rather than abstract theory. His sessions cover mindfulness, meditation, and stress management, adapted for people with no prior experience of the practices as much as for those familiar with them.
He also speaks on diversity and inclusion, drawing on his own experience to make the case for why inclusive workplaces make better decisions. Alistair delivers this work through in-person workshops, speaking engagements, and online sessions, making his approach to mental wellbeing accessible across formats.
Book Alistair Appleton as a speaker to inspire your team with his profound insights on mental health, mindfulness, and inclusivity. His unique blend of psychotherapy and Buddhist meditation offers practical strategies for achieving peace and contentment. Alistair's personal journey and expertise make him a compelling advocate for diversity and overall wellness.

No. PepTalk adds no booking fee, so you pay the speaker's fee and nothing beyond it. The service, from shortlist through to contracts and event-day logistics, is included. For repeat or multi-event bookings, PepTalk can agree preferential rates with your procurement team.
Share your event date, audience, format, objectives and budget, and PepTalk sends a hand-picked shortlist within 24 hours. Each suggestion comes with a profile, a fee and a recommendation on the strongest fit. Once you choose, PepTalk handles contracts, travel and logistics through to event day.
The typical fee range is the speaker's standard in-person fee in their home market, shown in their local currency. It moves with format, location, date and session length: virtual sessions and shorter slots usually cost less, while international travel and peak dates cost more. Send your brief to PepTalk and the team will confirm the exact fee in your currency.
Not all of them, and it makes no difference to your booking. PepTalk's network of 15,000+ speakers covers talent the team works with directly alongside speakers represented by agents and agencies worldwide. PepTalk approaches the speaker, negotiates the fee and handles contracting either way.
Three to six months ahead is comfortable for most events, and 12 months is better for large conferences, peak-season dates or one specific in-demand speaker. Shorter timelines are workable, and PepTalk regularly fills last-minute and replacement bookings within days. Availability is the constraint, so get in touch as soon as you have a date.
