I bring over 20 years of hands-on experience working alongside vulnerable children and families. I help schools and settings strengthen staff wellbeing so adults feel confident, supported and able to respond to children with compassion and consistency, and to provide genuine inclusion where every child can feel safe, seen and able to learn.
I offer coaching, training and practical support around early adversity, developmental trauma and disrupted attachment. A significant part of my work, though not exclusively, sits within Early Years and SEND, helping schools understand how sensory processing, relationships and early experiences shape a child’s ability to feel safe, regulated and ready to learn. I work with leaders and whole-school communities to build approaches that are relational, realistic and sustainable.
As an NLP Coach with private sector business experience, I also support settings to review systems, navigate change and strengthen team communication. I provide team-around-the-child support with a focus on regulation and trauma-informed responses to behaviour.
I’m known for building trusting relationships and for being practical, flexible and solution-focused. I’d be very happy to talk through your needs and ideas.
