I have worked with organisations and groups since 2019, in the public and private sectors, as well community groups. Some of my clients have included the NHS, Oxford City Council, Nationwide, MetroBank and Sainsbury's. 

​

My expertise is in the following areas -

​​

Conflict work

 

Conflict is a normal aspect of group work. Conflict itself is not the issue, but how we work with it and how we take care of relationships whilst going through it. ​ If disagreements aren't fully worked through or understood, resentments can build. With tensions running high a groups purpose can be derailed, leading to ineffective teamwork and low productivity, as well as people and relationships being harmed. Using methods from Processwork and Deep Democracy, I run sessions that support groups to name and process the thorny issues that are keeping them stuck. I bring an excellent awareness of power dynamics relating to systemic inequalities. I am also aware of my own positionality as a white, English-speaking person with many middle-class privileges and I acknowledge that I will have gaps in my awareness. I always welcome feedback and criticism and if budget allows I will invite colleagues to work with me.

LGBTQIA+ support and inclusion

​

Life can be challenging for LGBTQIA+ folks in organisations and it's essential for all people to be valued and included. I offer groupwork specifically for LGBTQIA+ folks to discuss together what's impacting them and to receive group or individualised support. This can also involve facilitated feedback sessions to the wider group or management, in order to support organisational awareness of the issues folks are facing, and to work towards culture change.

​

Critical Incident Response

 

As a Critical Incident responder I attend organisations that are facing a traumatic situation such as accidental death, suicide or mass redundancies. I offer Critical Incident debriefing sessions that give folks a chance to come together to better understand and process the events and to receive support from myself to prevent the potentially debilitating impact. These sessions can include groupwork sessions and/or one-to-ones depending on what feels right for your organisation.​​
