Consultancy

Survivor-aware consultancy for systems ready to transform.

Rooted in art. Structured by SSCS™. Focused on lived impact.

My Approach

It was art that first became my language to face survival. It was the Self-Soothing Creative Steps (SSCS™) that steadied my nervous system and gave me a framework for change.

Now I support organisations to embed survivor-aware and trauma-informed practice, turning policy into lived impact. My consultancy blends lived experience, creative methodologies, and system-level strategy.

The SSCS™ Thread

Support. Self-Love. Spirituality. Security.
Simple enough to steady you in the moment, deep enough to guide lasting change.

These four pillars shape how I listen, design, and evaluate, so your strategies are not just written but lived.
