Hi friend,

You’ve found your way to this page, which means you or someone you care about may be affected by trauma. Or maybe you’re not sure, but it’s on your mind.

Whether you feel clear or uncertain, I want to acknowledge that you are here. If you’re unsure, that’s a valid entry point. Too often we ignore those small signals - the faint voice of intuition that says, maybe there’s something here that needs attention.

What is trauma and why does it matter?

Trauma means wound. It doesn’t simply disappear on its own. It often resurfaces and makes growth and development journeys especially challenging, particularly if unrecognised or unresolved. Healing and growth are on the same path.

If we only put a plaster over a wound that’s still infected, it won’t heal. It will continue to affect us.

A trauma-informed coach offers a safe, supportive environment that builds trust, healing, courage, compassion, and empowerment.

My personal and professional journey

Over the past few years, I’ve noticed that many of my clients are carrying some form of trauma. This has also been true for me. Even though I’ve been on the planet for many decades, I still come face to face with my own history, my current experiences, and yes, trauma that affects me today.

The field of trauma research is growing rapidly. Neuroscience now helps us understand more about what happens in the brain and body. We hear terms like emotional shock, emotional flashbacks, and complex PTSD, alongside the more familiar PTSD. It’s complex. And so hard to deal with. Thankfully, we also have many approaches to healing: body-based therapies, creative practices, and talking or cognitive therapies, to name just a few.

My role as a coach & invitation to you

I am a certified trauma-informed coach. I’m not a clinician or therapist. I don’t diagnose or treat trauma directly. But I do know how to work with clients in a trauma-informed way: to gently explore, to discover, and to support personal journeys through difficult times.

I chose to train in this because I realised that without a trauma-informed lens, I was swimming blind, and at risk of doing harm, even with the best intentions. I don’t want to do that. I want to help and I’ll open conversations about referring to appropriate support if I sense that might be needed to be explored.

I see the enormous impact trauma has, lasting decades, rippling into families, communities, and workplaces. Not only from workplace shocks like restructuring, chronic bullying, or toxic environments (which could be personal and/or workplace), but also in leadership itself. I suspect you could look at any executive team and find trauma histories.

Does any of this speak to you? If so, I’d love to meet you whenever or if ever it feels right for you. You are welcome to book in a complimentary intitial chat or to reach out with any questions: here.
