Bryony Gordon is a fearless mental health advocate, journalist, and author who transforms personal struggles with OCD, depression, and addiction into powerful narratives that destigmatise mental illness and inspire authentic conversations about psychological wellbeing.
Bryony spent 24 years at the Telegraph before becoming a columnist at the Daily Mail, where she was named Tabloid Columnist of the Year in 2025. She has written nine books, six of them Sunday Times bestsellers, including the number one titles Mad Girl and You Got This, and hosts the podcast The Life of Bryony. Bryony founded Mental Health Mates in 2016, creating a nationwide peer support network that has become a lifeline for thousands.

Bryony helps organisations navigate the complex landscape of workplace mental health by providing practical frameworks for creating psychologically safe environments. Her insights enable leaders to recognise early warning signs of burnout, implement effective support systems, and foster cultures where vulnerability becomes a strength rather than a weakness.

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.
