About Vee
Part coach, part chaos-coordinator, and fully committed to trauma-informed, real-world change. Ex–Head of Year and Alternative Provision lead (behaviour & safeguarding ninja), she rolled out what we now know as “NEU’s innovative wellbeing approach”, and turned crisis corridors into workable calm. AET-qualified trainer of NEU’s six-area framework—Mental, Emotional, Social, Physical, Creative, Environmental—across schools, services, and community projects. Took NEU into prison settings too—co-designed and delivered programmes with residents, with clear wins and real-life follow-through that stuck. Champions lived experience, practical toolkits, and zero fluff. Expect evidence-based methods, warm humour, and the occasional sticky-note avalanche. She’s not the calm in the storm. She IS the storm—with a clipboard and a cuppa, ready to change the damn forecast.
Now Everybody Unite? Absolutely.

My Work Process
I started by wrangling teenagers as a Head of Year and running an Alternative Provision (Solihull Approach in my back pocket). Between school and founding NE:U, I took the work inside prisons and out into the community—delivering trauma-informed workshops, re-integration support, and staff training alongside people with lived experience. Those voices now shape everything I build.
I then launched NE:U (Now Everybody Unite) to turn it all into practical, scalable training. These days I deliver modular 3-hour sessions across the six NE:U pillars—Mental, Emotional, Social, Physical, Creative, Environmental—tracking impact with simple wellbeing check-ins and real-world outcomes. Next up: more resources, more pop-ups, and fewer acronyms… probably.
