Keynotes and conference talks
Full-length talks for conferences, staff events and awareness campaigns, shaped around your audience rather than delivered off the shelf.
Speaker, trainer and campaigner
Speaking plainly about domestic abuse, so the people who hear it know what to do next.
I speak to organisations, professionals and communities about domestic abuse and about violence against women and girls: what it looks like before it becomes visible, why leaving is rarely the simple answer people assume it is, and what a useful response actually sounds like.
Why it matters
Most people can tell something is wrong. Far fewer know what to do about it.
Every talk aims at the same thing: people leave the room able to recognise what they are seeing, willing to say something, and clear about where to point someone who needs help.
Ways of working
How I work with organisations
Training and workshops
Practical sessions for teams who encounter abuse in their work: recognising coercive control, responding to a disclosure, and referring on without causing harm.
Panels and media
Panel contributions, podcasts and interviews on domestic abuse and violence against women and girls, handled with care for survivors listening.
Schools, colleges and youth settings
Age-appropriate sessions on healthy relationships, consent, and the early warning signs young people are rarely taught to name.
If you are the one who needs help
This is not the place to start
If you are living with abuse, or you are frightened of someone close to you, there are people whose whole job is to help you work out what to do next. They will not tell you to leave, judge what you decide, or take the decision out of your hands. Talking to them costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
