Help Your People Thrive - and Your Business Grow Stronger
We help employers create healthier, more supportive workplaces where people can do their best work - reducing the impact of stress, trauma exposure and burnout while strengthening retention, leadership and long-term performance.
Move beyond awareness and turn your commitment to people into meaningful, measurable change.
When Your People Are Under Pressure, Your Business Feels It Too
In high-pressure, customer-facing and trauma-exposed environments, even committed teams can find the strain beginning to show:
Burnout, stress and reduced productivity
Compassion fatigue and secondary trauma
Rising sickness absence and presenteeism
Recruitment, engagement and retention challenges
Increasingly complex employee and customer needs
Pressure on line managers and senior leaders
Inconsistent people-management practice across teams
Awareness training can be a valuable first step. But on its own, it rarely changes the everyday systems, behaviours and support that people rely on.
With the right support, you can reduce avoidable pressure, retain experienced people and create more consistent performance across your teams.
We work alongside your leaders to create a practical, measurable route from good intentions to lasting change—shaped around your people, priorities and business goals.
That's where we help.

A Clear, Supportive Path to Lasting Change
1. Assess
We evaluate your business's current trauma-informed capability, workplace culture, people policies and workforce needs.
2. Plan
We turn the evidence into a focused roadmap with clear priorities, ownership and measures of success.
3. Embed
We work closely with your leaders and teams to put the plan into practice, build confidence and develop the capability to carry the work forward.
4. Sustain
We track progress, reinforce accountability and help you sustain the gains long after the initial engagement.
You've got questions. We've got answers.
Consultancy focuses on organisational change. We help leaders assess, plan, implement and sustain trauma-informed practice through strategy, coaching, implementation support and workforce development.
Training typically focuses on developing knowledge and awareness. We do this too!
Yes.
Many organisations have invested in training but struggle to embed learning into day-to-day practice.
Our consultancy helps translate knowledge into action by supporting leadership, culture, policies, systems and workforce wellbeing.
Our assessment process may include:
Leadership interviews
Staff surveys
Policy and procedure reviews
Organisational culture assessments
Workforce wellbeing reviews
Gap analysis against trauma-informed principles
We then provide a practical roadmap aligned with your workforce priorities, operating environment and commercial goals.
We commonly partner with:
Customer-facing and people-intensive businesses
Professional and financial services firms
Retail and hospitality businesses
Private health, care and wellbeing providers
Technology and high-growth companies
Construction, logistics and operational employers
Legal, insurance and claims organisations
Employee assistance and occupational health providers
Any employer whose people work under sustained pressure, support vulnerable customers or encounter distressing situations can benefit from a trauma-informed approach.
Projects vary depending on scope and organisational needs.
Some organisations engage us for a one-off audit over several weeks, while others work with us over 6 to 12 months to support implementation and culture change.
Absolutely.
Many clients choose ongoing consultancy, coaching, leadership support, reflective practice facilitation, or implementation guidance to help maintain momentum and achieve long-term change.
At the start of each project we agree clear outcomes and success measures.
These may include:
Employee and manager confidence
Wellbeing, engagement and absence indicators
Leadership and line-manager capability
HR policy and process development
Organisational readiness and culture measures
Trauma-informed practice measures
Retention, performance and customer outcomes
Our goal is to demonstrate meaningful organisational improvement, not simply attendance at training events.
Yes.
Embedding trauma-informed practice requires leadership commitment and strategic alignment.
We regularly work with CEOs, People and HR Directors, Operations Leaders, Executive Teams, business owners and line managers to build sustainable organisational change.
It is a confidential, no-pressure conversation focused on your organisation and what would be most useful to you.
We'll explore:
Your current challenges
Existing trauma-informed initiatives
Workforce wellbeing concerns
Desired outcomes
Potential next steps
If it feels like a good fit, we can suggest suitable options. If not, you will still leave with greater clarity about possible next steps.
Many organisations invest in trauma training and expect practice to change automatically.
Unfortunately, awareness alone rarely transforms culture.
Without leadership alignment, implementation planning, workforce support and accountability, even the best training can struggle to create lasting impact.
That's why our consultancy focuses on embedding trauma-informed principles into the systems, behaviours and culture that shape everyday practice.
Because lasting change requires more than training. It requires implementation.
If you would like to strengthen workforce wellbeing and embed trauma-informed practice, we would be glad to hear what is happening in your organisation and explore how we might help.

Liz started her crisis intervention career in 1996 and her experience spans many settings. As Senior Welfare Officer for Greater Manchester Police up to 2004, Liz was responsible for developing proactive strategy and training initiatives as well as leading a team providing 24 / 7 emergency cover and an immediate response herself following numerous line-of-duty police officer deaths, murders, suicides, hostage situations, multiple fatality accidents, public order and firearms incidents.
Since then, she has helped organisations including NHS Trusts, emergency services, the Council of the European Union, private and public sector, to strategically prepare for, and respond to, the human impact of workplace crises and trauma. Her past clinical career included training in Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) in 1999 and becoming an EMDR Europe Approved Consultant in 2007. Liz has worked extensively with clients suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and crisis reactions resulting from childhood abuse, workplace violence, acts of terror and natural disasters. She was a founder member of the UK Psychological Trauma Society and is a multi-published, international author.
Liz has presented at many conferences around the world including the US, Europe and Oceania. She has been a certified trainer in Group Crisis Interventions for the International Critical Incident Stress Foundation for 20 years.
Family and nature are important for Liz in balancing her trauma work. She has two grown-up children and spends her spare time training up her border collie to work with her family’s sheep.
Cath is an Associate Fellow of the British Psychological Society and a Chartered Counselling Psychologist. She began her career in the voluntary sector working with people who had experienced domestic violence.
Since then, she has gone on to specialise in managing the psychological impact of critical incidents, with an Masters in Psychological trauma and around 25 years’ experience of working with high-risk organisations and clients suffering from the full range of reactions to crisis and trauma from acute stress to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). These have included serious assaults, sexual violence, hostage situations, firearms incidents, witnessing violence and death.
She is an EMDR consultant, internationally published author, and presenter. She is passionate about early intervention and getting support to people as soon as possible, this involves helping organisations to consider the extremely valuable human aspect of their business, enabling them to stay on course whatever storm they were forced to weather!
Working in the world of trauma has highlighted Cath’s awareness that life can change in a heartbeat, and that we never know what is around the corner. So, staying in the present moment enjoying a good work life balance, and connecting with her family, friends (and dog Max 😉) is extremely important to her
