Consulting
You are a founder, leader or manager within an organisation…
You know that your people will perform better in a culture of psychological safety…
You want to ensure that you and your colleagues are taking a trauma-informed approach to managing staff so that you can support them to fulfil their true potential…
You understand that trauma is the new frontier of the truly inclusive workplace and you want to be at the leading edge…
If you are a leader or manager within an organisation, you WILL have a significant number of employees who have experienced trauma.
They will be living with the psychological and physical consequences of that trauma and it will be negatively impacting on their performance.
Psychological trauma undermines creativity, depresses their ability to form relationships or to work in a team and leads individuals to experience normal management functions such as performance reviews as a form of persecution.
Trauma holds people back from seeking promotion, stepping up into leadership and taking responsibility.
Taking a trauma-informed approach to leadership and management will ensure that individuals feel seen and heard; help them to overcome persistent barriers and blocks; and ensure that they can perform and flourish in the workplace - living up to their potential in the way you have always known they could.
With appropriate support and training, you can change the culture of your organisation, create genuine psychological safety for all employees; and unlock the true potential of your employees and your organisation.

(Helen Bryant, Coach)
Who we have worked with
“Susanna delivered a 3 hour workshop at our clinic where she introduced us to the concepts of trauma-informed care, how to identify signs which may indicate the presence of past trauma and how to raise concerns sensitively and safely.
As a medical doctor, Susanna has great awareness of the scenarios we might encounter in our work and also the limitations to which we are qualified to address trauma related issues. She helped us clarify exactly what our skill set enabled us to do, where our responsibilities ended, and what options are available for onward referral.
Susanna’s presenting style is professional and engaging, she neither skirts or sensationalises the important issues. Her own life experiences, and her ongoing work and commitment to the field of trauma-informed care, make her an ideal teacher, speaker and advocate. I can’t recommend Susanna highly enough.”
