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-designing and delivering 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 IS the storm — with a clipboard and a cuppa, ready to change the damn forecast.
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, reintegration 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, tracking impact with simple wellbeing check-ins and real-world outcomes. Next up: more resources, more pop-ups, and fewer acronyms… probably.
