About Turn Over A New L.E.A.F.®
Turn Over A New LEAF® exists to support individuals, leaders, teams, and organisations to remove unnecessary interference — within people, between people, and across systems — so that resilience, performance, and wellbeing can be sustained rather than depleted.
The work brings together experienced helping professionals and evidence-informed tools to support:
​
-
nervous system regulation and recovery from stress and burnout
-
authentic resilience and reflective capacity
-
healthier relationships and team dynamics
-
aligned performance rooted in values, not pressure
We work across personal, professional, and organisational contexts, supporting people navigating traumatic and chronic strain due to complex emotional, relational, and systemic challenges. This breadth of experience allows us to work confidently and sensitively across diverse workplace environments, cultures, and levels of responsibility.
A Different Way to Flourish
When the four-minute mile was finally broken, many others soon followed. Not because human capacity suddenly changed — but because belief, conditions, and possibility shifted.
At Turn Over A New LEAF®, we apply the same principle. By creating the right internal and relational conditions, individuals and organisations can build the resilience, clarity, and performance they need to flowrish one person at a time — and to redefine what’s possible for them.

About Jan Carpenter
Jan Carpenter established Turn Over A New L.E.A.F.® in 2018. He is a Team Manager, with over 25 years’ experience across frontline adult Social Work practice, supervision, and leadership in complex care systems.
Alongside his statutory leadership role, Jan is a certified Havening Techniques® Practitioner and Trainer, and an experienced performance and wellbeing coach. His work is informed by neuroscience, trauma-informed practice, positive psychology, NLP, DiSC, and years of delivering reflective, practical workshops to professionals working under sustained pressure.
Jan’s approach bridges operational management with human-centred leadership. He understands first-hand the realities of care work, leadership strain, burnout risk, and organisational complexity — and brings calm, structure, clarity and nervous system awareness to environments where people are expected to perform while carrying emotional load.
I am honoured to have found my highest purpose, thus far, as a certified Havening Techniques® Practitioner and now Trainer. Being part of the global Havening Trainer team is very special. It complements over a decade of coaching, NLP and training and as well as qualified social work, specialising in mental health and professional leadership.
Since 1998, I have worked with a variety of personal and business clients dealing with the simple to the complex range of circumstances, social and health conditions. This has given me a unique wealth of experience and confidence when working across a variety of workplace environments, social complexity, limiting beliefs and ‘dis-ease’.
I have used Havening Techniques® to help people lift or alleviate the following conditions, leaving them feeling happier, ‘lighter’ and with greater wellbeing: insomnia, persistent worry, disturbing night terrors, severe hayfever, social anxiety, early childhood trauma impacting on relationships, severe anxiety due to historical domestic violence, weight loss issues, chronic pain due to serious accidents, suicide ideation, alcohol issues, divorce recovery, bereavement and grieving, depressive symptoms, sibling rivalry, autoimmune symptoms, hoarding.
​
The common link to all of these conditions and many more is encoded trauma and traumatic stress, which most of us have in one way or another. When we resolve the trauma, which Havening can do in many cases surprisingly quickly, the uncomfortable conditions have a tendency to resolve themselves.
