ABOUT 

I am a consultant, trainer, ICF accredited coach and speaker with an MSc in Psychology, specialising in human functioning under pressure, behavioural escalation and organisational systems. 

 

As a former Army officer and trauma‑informed coach, I’ve seen first hand and experienced the profound impact that an unhealthy workplace culture, a lack of psychological safety and a fear of vulnerability can have on performance and wellbeing. I partner with organisations to create cultures where people feel heard, respected and empowered.

My work combines evidence-based research, practical experience through personal insight gained through navigating workplace bullying and trauma. I focus on helping people recognise early warning signs of escalation and respond more effectively before situations deteriorate.

​​What I do:

  • Talks and interactive workshops helping organisations recognise what drives conflict, bullying and escalation in high-pressure environments.

  • Training using the SoS Framework® a practical tool to help people identify escalation risks, understand difficult situations more effectively and make better-informed decisions.

  • Through talks, coaching and consultancy I help leaders and teams apply these insights to create healthier cultures and and safer responses in high-pressure situations. 

  • I also collaborate with specialist partners to provide group partner coaching programs to scale in support of organisational projects where required.

My approach:

  • I based my work on well established research into stress, bullying and how people actually function and behave in high stress situations and I translate this into clear practical learning and tools.

  • Lived experience shapes how I and those I partner with work; with care, sensitivity and an understanding of how workplace harm affects people in real life.

  • My approach encourages thoughtful, evidence-informed responses to complex situations rather than assumptions or premature conclusions.
