Trauma Responsive Consultancy

Creating truly safe, inclusive, and empowering environments requires more than good intentions—it requires a shift in culture, language, and practice. I support organisations and individuals to make this shift with compassion, clarity, and a deep understanding of trauma and its impact.

With over 20 years’ experience working within the education system, I bring a wealth of knowledge, lived practice, and a trauma-responsive approach that meets people where they are. My work is rooted in the belief that when leaders, practitioners, and systems become trauma-informed, they open the door to healing, resilience, and lasting change.

We offer:

  • Organisational Consultations – Whether you’re just beginning to consider what trauma-informed practice could mean for your organisation, or you’re ready to embed it into every layer of your culture, I provide consultations that are practical, reflective, and tailored to your needs.

  • On-Going Consultancy & Change Support – A series of sessions designed to walk alongside your leadership and teams as you evolve policies, procedures, and everyday practice with a trauma lens.

  • Individual Supervision & Reflective Practice – Dedicated space for practitioners who want to deepen their own understanding and integrate trauma-informed approaches into their work.

  • Policy & Strategy Development – Bespoke support to ensure your frameworks, policies, and procedures are not only compliant but grounded in values of safety, trust, and empowerment.

  • Training & Capacity Building – Engaging workshops, reflective sessions, and learning opportunities designed to grow trauma-informed awareness across your workforce.

  • Staff Wellbeing & Culture Support – Helping you create systems that prioritise the wellbeing and resilience of staff, ensuring they can sustainably support others.

My approach is generous, responsive, and relational. I listen deeply, adapt flexibly, and honour the unique needs of every organisation, leader, and practitioner I work with. Together, we can move beyond surface-level change to create spaces where people feel truly seen, valued, and safe.

"From the outset of our journey towards becoming a Trauma informed school, Sarah has supported every step of the way. Her calm and knowledgeable approach helped us greatly when we were working on our new behaviour policy and she helped us with our decision making by taking the time to talk issues through with us. We have really benefitted from the way that she was able to appreciate our specific context and adapt things to suit our school, pupils and parents."
