Keynote and Facilitation
Real stories, lived experience and practical insight for the people who shape our communities. Grounded in evidence and shaped by experience.
Why These Conversations Matter
These conversations matter. In classrooms, staff rooms, boardrooms and community spaces, people are doing their best to understand themselves, the young people they support and the challenges they face. The approach is straightforward: real stories, clear thinking and practical insight shaped by lived experience, trauma-responsive practice and years of working alongside young people, educators and communities.
Whether the session is a keynote, training event or facilitated conversation, the focus is always on helping people think more deeply, understand one another and build environments where connection, care and confidence can grow.
The approach is grounded, relatable and honest, combining scientific insight with the reality of lived experience making research on trauma, attachment and human behaviour easy to understand and meaningful in real world settings.
Nothing is overcomplicated. Nothing is polished for effect. It’s real, relatable and built to make people think differently about themselves and the people they support.
Real Experience. Real Insight.
Inspire. Educate. Empower.
Sessions are built around the needs of your team, whether you work in education, local authorities, organisations or community settings. Each session brings together clear science, lived experience and practical tools that make sense in real situations.
In schools and colleges, the focus includes trauma-responsive practice, attachment, behaviour, regulation, staff wellbeing and relational leadership. The aim is to help staff connect the science with the young people they support.
For organisations and third-sector teams, sessions cover human-centred leadership, psychological safety, resilience, workplace mental health and building stronger relationships in pressured environments.
Whether it is an in-service day, leadership development, a conference talk or a facilitated team session, the content is always shaped to suit your context. No generic slides. Just honest, practical work designed for the people in front of me.
Participants leave with clarity, confidence and tools they can use straight away, both personally and professionally.
