Calm the Waves Counselling & Training

I am an Integrative, Trauma-Informed Therapist (BACP), a DDP Level 1 and 2 Informed Practitioner, and a Keynote Speaker & Trainer.

I am passionate about delivering trauma-informed training that reflects how trauma truly presents in real-life situations. I weave together theory and practical concepts in relatable ways—supporting professionals and families to understand how we can bring the theory to life.

My training focuses on truly hearing the child’s voice—whether it’s the child you’re working with directly or the inner child of the adult. That voice is the key to building meaningful, therapeutic relationships and supporting work across teams and services.

I have extensive experience working alongside adoptive families, looked-after children, and foster carers, helping to reframe behaviour as communication and focusing on what has happened to them.
