Real Conversations. Lived Experience. Lasting Impact.
I am a TEDx speaker, published author, ordained minister, and certified mindset and trauma-informed coach with over two decades of experience speaking across churches, conferences, corporate organisations, and national platforms.
I have been invited to speak at the House of Lords, 10 Downing Street, and TEDx Birmingham City University. I have been featured on ITV News, TBN UK, BBC Radio WM, Premier Christian Radio, and in multiple national publications.
My speaking draws from lived experience of abuse, forced marriage, trauma, spiritual harm, and recovery. I speak with honesty, sensitivity, and authority, creating spaces where difficult topics can be explored safely and constructively.
I do not sensationalise stories or use shock tactics. I speak to inform, challenge, and strengthen. Every talk is grounded, trauma-informed, and shaped around the needs of your audience.

Training and CPD for Organisations
Alongside keynote speaking and public engagements, I deliver bespoke training and CPD sessions for organisations, charities, churches, and professional teams.
​
These sessions draw on my lived experience, my trauma-informed coaching practice, and over two decades of advocacy work. They are designed to help staff and volunteers develop a deeper understanding of abuse, coercive control, trauma, and recovery, and to respond to those affected with greater confidence, compassion, and care.
​
Training can be tailored to your organisation's context, culture, and specific needs. Whether you work in a faith setting, a community organisation, a corporate environment, or a professional services team, I will work with you to create something that is relevant, impactful, and appropriate for your audience.
Areas training can cover include:
​
-
Understanding domestic abuse, coercive control, and hidden harm
-
Recognising and responding to trauma in the workplace or community
-
Spiritual abuse awareness for faith organisations and leaders
-
Supporting survivors with sensitivity and appropriate boundaries

-
Suicide awareness and supporting those in crisis
All training is trauma-informed, honest, and delivered with respect for the complexity of these subjects.
