I work with organisations to design and facilitate small, reflective groups during periods of professional, personal, or organisational transition.

My work is grounded in careful listening and sense-making, helping participants articulate what matters and clarify their next step. Groups are short-term and carefully structured. I work in a trauma-aware way. This is not advice, therapy, or coaching.

Background

My background includes founding and leading a refugee charity for over a decade, alongside extensive experience designing and delivering trauma-aware group learning for professionals. As part of this work, I led trainings for those in health, social justice, human rights, legal, and community contexts, with a focus on working effectively with trauma, loss, displacement, and uncertainty, and with sensitivity to gender, culture, religion, and lived experience. Over time, I trained hundreds of practitioners across sectors.

I also bring experience in strategic communications consulting for Rio Tinto and Third Sector organisations, an MA in Creative Writing, and a Harvard Diploma in Global Mental Health.
