MEET ME
Co-Creating Change through Pure Professionalism
I was an NHS leader in mental health for some time after qualifying as a Clinical Psychologist in 1994. I have been at the forefront of trauma informed and compassionate leadership developments and set up a UK wide network for change. I have delivered programmes of work and embed co-production and lived experience in all that I do. I set up regional staff support services during covid and commissioned lots of creative or collective healing opportunities. I now work as a freelance Consultant and as Director and founder of the Trauma Informed Community Action C.I.C.
I am a also a feminist visual artist, film maker, and presenter/producer of ‘music for wellbeing’ events.
"Centring people's lived experiences in my work, I aim to foster both individual and collective wellbeing by constructively engaging with the complexities of those experiences"
