Working closely with our clinical team, I help shape training that is warm, practical and rooted in both neuroscience and lived experience. I care deeply about bridging the gap between academic knowledge and the emotional truth of trauma, so that people are not only able to understand the theory, but can also feel its relevance in everyday life. I specialise in turning complex theory and painful subject matter into clear, grounded information that can be understood and used in real homes, classrooms and professional settings.
I believe that when we understand how each of our brains and bodies adapts in order to survive, we begin to understand one another more fully. From there, things can start to feel safer, more manageable and more possible. Much of my work is driven by a hope that the right information, offered in the right way, can help children, families and professionals feel less overwhelmed, less isolated and more supported.
At Beacon House, I bring together my artistic training and trauma-informed insight to create visuals, tools and resources that feel human, compassionate and genuinely useful. This runs through the illustrations and resources I have created for our forthcoming book on healing developmental trauma in families and systems, written by my colleague and friend Dr Shoshanah Lyons, and to be published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers in Spring 2027. The book reflects so much of what Beacon House has learned over the years: a commitment to holding science and humanity together in the way we understand developmental trauma.
I am also the creator of the Inner World Work series ‘Survival In…’, which is currently being updated for 2026.
