HUMAN FUNCTIONING UNDER PRESSURE.
RECOGNISING WHAT DRIVES DIFFICULT SITUATIONS & INTERRUPTING WHAT HAPPENS NEXT.
Pressure doesn't affect people in isolation. It can change how we think, behave, communicate and respond to one another and the conditions in which we are operating can shape what happens next. When we misread what is happening, difficult situations can escalate, affecting people, relationships and performance and, in some circumstances, contribute to psychological harm. Recognising what is happening earlier creates the opportunity to change what happens next.
I am a consultant, trainer, ICF-accredited coach and speaker with an MSc in Psychology and specialist in human functioning under pressure, behavioural escalation and complex organisational situations.
Drawing on more than 20 years of leadership experience alongside psychology, behavioural science and trauma-informed practice, I bring a multidisciplinary perspective to complex human and organisational challenges.
My professional expertise is also informed by lived experience of navigating workplace bullying, trauma and systemic failure. This gives me a perspective from both sides: how organisations and leaders try to manage difficult situations, and what those situations can be like for the people experiencing them.
My work includes consultancy, training using the SoS Framework®, speaking, workshops and individual and group coaching. Where additional specialist expertise is required, I work with trusted professional partners to provide an integrated response.
How I support organisations & individuals
Training, consultancy, coaching and speaking focused on understanding human functioning under pressure and preventing harmful escalation.
SoS Framework ® Training
Practical training for organisations, leaders, teams and practitioners informed by psychology, behavioural science and lived experience.
The SoS Framework® helps people recognise when situations may be becoming harmful, make better sense of what is happening, reducing the risk of escalation and psychological harm.
Speaking & Workshops
Keynotes, talks and interactive workshops exploring human functioning under pressure, conflict, behavioural escalation, leadership and psychological safety.
Drawing together professional & lived expertise, I create sessions that challenge assumptions, stimulate discussion & offer learning for real organisational contexts.
