Shaun Flores is a internationally renowned TEDx speaker, mental health trainer and facilitator who turns difficult conversations about OCD, neurodiversity and masculinity into practical change.
He has delivered more than 400 keynotes, workshops and training sessions to over 15,000 people across businesses, schools, universities, NHS services and community organisations. His clients include Network Rail, McCain, eBay, Janus Henderson, NetApp and Cooper Parry. His sessions have achieved satisfaction ratings above 95%, with 98% of clients requesting further work.
Shaun’s work is rooted in lived experience and clinical expertise. After years of frightening intrusive thoughts and a serious mental health breakdown, he was diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive disorder at 27, alongside ADHD. The diagnosis gave him language for experiences he had previously interpreted as evidence that something was fundamentally wrong with him. His response became a defining commitment: “OCD was the worst thing to happen to me. I will be the worst thing to happen to OCD.”
Alongside his speaking career, Shaun has worked as an Adult Mental Health First Aid Instructor and an Oliver McGowan Facilitating Trainer, delivering autism and learning disability training alongside experts by experience. Additionally he has worked as NHS Peer Support Worker, and Recovery College Peer Tutor.
Through The Flores Effect, Shaun examines how language shapes identity, behaviour and whether people feel able to seek support. For businesses, he helps leaders and teams understand hidden mental health experiences, support neurodivergent colleagues and build more open workplace cultures. For schools and universities, he creates direct, age-appropriate conversations that strengthen mental health literacy, resilience, personal responsibility and earlier help-seeking.
Audiences leave with clearer language, greater confidence discussing mental health and practical ways to support themselves and others. Shaun’s work has featured across the BBC, Channel 4, Men’s Health, Metro and leading mental health platforms. His talks are honest, practical and tailored to each audience.
Shaun is a highly professional and talented individual who has eloquently shared this mental health journey. He is a very passionate and energetic individual. I was moved by his lived experience with OCD, and I believe that his contributions in this field are very valuable and will inspire others to speak about mental health.”
I just wanted to share a quick note and let you know that Shaun Daniel Carl Flores is an exceptionally gifted Public Speaker. I know this as I have known Shaun on a personal and professional level now for over the past 10 years and have attended several of his talks. The last event I attended was his TEDx talk called, ‘The Straight Jacket of Masculinity’.”
