My main passion is creating the conditions to help everyone thrive, starting with staff; I offer anything from lunch time talks, half day sessions, full day sessions and ongoing consultancy work. It will be tailored to you and your situation & needs, and is informed by my own lived experience, years working in a TI way, business, sport & academic studies.
I love sharing what I learn but it isn’t just about giving knowledge, it’s doing it in a way that you can best understand, absorb, and use. And it has to be realistic & practical; fun as my training can be it needs to have a lasting impact in how you work, and like anything you learn it takes practise so I love to run follow up sessions and help with plans to support you further in this journey if required.
This isn’t another to do, if I get it right it will be a guiding system that transforms what you already do.
If staff stress levels are high we start there, and it also includes the foundational elements of tackling discrimination and inequalities, and listening to your service users.

Some of the feedback for my work:
Most helpful part of the training was feeling valued and a part of the session
Better than I could have imagined and initially I was sceptical about attending but definitely feel it was needed and used and worked.
Loved the sense of humour and trainer’s passion & knowledge
I love the science (and the discussions were really valuable)
I found it all useful, really liked the sofa of safety! Made it nice and simple.
Loved it all – want more, enjoyed the trainers enthusiasm for the subject & most helpful – gaining insight into own behaviours
Thought it was amazing training
I have been involved in many aspects of TI but not had opportunity to explore how it relates to stress responses and the issues behind it in this amount of detail before.
It has helped evaluate how my own stress and experience may be affecting my own practice and importance of checking this
This was excellent training to promote further consolidation for the lived experience and feelings of the service user.
