Practical inclusion that sticks

I help you turn intent into action.

I help organisations turn intent into everyday inclusive practice. My work is calm, practical and human — sense over sensationalism. I keep things simple, nudge small changes, and mentor leaders to do the inclusion basics well, confidentially and without judgement. Often, it’s the smallest change that makes the biggest difference.

My background includes governance self-assurance and equality standards improvement, coaching leaders and managers, and facilitating conversations that move people from “we should” to “we will”… and “we are”. I bring lived experience and a warm, candid style. Areas I’m often asked to support include neurodivergence, mental wellbeing, inclusive culture change, and menopause.

Embedding Inclusion in Strategy

I help boards and leadership teams build inclusion into strategy. My focus is on charities, public bodies and organisations who want a practical, external view to connect their aims with everyday practice.
From Policy to Practice

Policies don’t change anything on their own. People do. I help organisations turn intent into everyday behaviour through focused workshops, clear action plans with named owners, and light-touch coaching. A living plan is one people can pick up and update without extra effort — practical steps, plain updates, and support that keeps change doable. Culture change takes time, but it starts with small, practical steps that people can actually do.
Seminars and Workshops

Straightforward, interactive sessions that get people talking and reflecting. I focus on thoughtful conversations that spark light bulb moments and gently challenge ideas, so people leave seeing things from a fresh angle. The aim is to create space for reflection and small, practical actions that keep momentum. Sessions can be tailored for leadership teams, managers, HR or whole staff learning.
Research Inclusion

I support research teams to bring more voices into their work. This might mean reviewing design, simplifying language, or removing barriers so lived experience can be included safely and fairly. My focus is on making sure findings reflect the people they are meant to serve and that they lead to change that lasts.
Tools and Resources

I provide simple tools that make inclusion part of everyday work — checklists, guides and templates you can adapt and share. These are not complex frameworks but practical prompts to help teams put ideas into practice.
