Yacht Crew Resilience Mental Health Coach Justine Williamson

About me

I founded Yacht Crew Resilience to support yacht crew and senior leaders in building the resilience, confidence, and self-awareness needed to perform at their best in high-pressure environments.

With over 20 years’ experience in senior leadership roles within a global organisation, I understand first-hand what it takes to operate in fast-paced, demanding settings where expectations are high and there is little margin for error. I have worked across complex, international environments, supporting individuals and teams to stay focused, adaptable, and effective under pressure.

I also recognise that the yachting industry brings its own unique challenges — from long seasons and high guest expectations to the reality of living and working in close quarters. It requires a specific and often underestimated form of resilience.

I am an accredited coach and an International Coaching Federation Professional Certified Coach (PCC), working with clients since 2016 across a range of sectors, including the yachting industry. I am also a qualified Mental Health First Aider, which is particularly relevant in an environment where sustained pressure and limited personal space can impact wellbeing.

Having lived in Mallorca for over 10 years and worked closely with yacht crew throughout that time, I have developed a strong understanding of life onboard — the intensity, the interpersonal dynamics, and the constant expectation to deliver.

Yacht Crew Resilience was created to offer something different: practical, relevant coaching and training designed specifically for this world.

My aim is simple—to help crew not just cope, but to perform, lead, and thrive under pressure.
