Bespoke Trauma-Informed Consulting for Schools

Thoughtful, relational support grounded in the realities of your setting

 

I offer bespoke trauma-informed consulting for schools and organisations working with children and young people. This work begins not with recommendations, but with listening, observation, and understanding.

 

Every setting has its own culture, pressures, strengths, and unspoken dynamics. Before suggesting change, I take time to understand how your environment functions day to day -  how staff are supported, how behaviour is responded to, and where emotional load is being carried.

 

This approach ensures that any support offered is relevant, realistic, and sustainable.

What Consulting With Me Looks Like

 

Consulting is tailored to each setting, but may include:

 

  • Quiet observation of learning environments and shared spaces

  • Reflective conversations with staff or leadership teams

  • Exploration of behaviour patterns, communication styles, and systems of support

  • Identification of strengths alongside areas where staff may need greater clarity or confidence

 

The focus is never on fault or deficit, but on understanding what is happening beneath the surface.

A Tailored Plan, Not a Template

 

From this understanding, I work collaboratively with schools to develop a bespoke plan of support. This may include:

 

  • Trauma-informed staff training aligned with your context

  • Ongoing consultation or reflective support for leaders and teams

  • Targeted therapeutic workshops or mentoring where appropriate

 

All recommendations are made with staff capacity, wellbeing, and sustainability in mind.

Why This Approach Works

 

Trauma-informed practice cannot be embedded through policy alone. It lives in everyday interactions, language, and relationships -  particularly in moments of stress.

 

By supporting schools to reflect on their existing practice, strengthen understanding, and build confidence, consulting helps teams move from reactive responses to consistent, compassionate practice.

​

This leads to:

 

  • Greater confidence and clarity for staff

  • Improved emotional safety across the setting

  • More attuned responses to behaviour and distress

  • A culture where both adults and young people feel supported

Who This Service Is For

 

This service may be particularly helpful for schools that:

 

  • Are experiencing high levels of behaviour or emotional need

  • Want to embed trauma-informed practice in a meaningful way

  • Feel overwhelmed by initiatives and are seeking clarity

  • Want support that respects staff expertise and lived experience

A Grounded, Respectful Partnership

 

My role is not to tell schools what they are doing wrong, but to walk alongside them - offering insight, reflection, and support rooted in understanding rather than judgement. If you are looking for a calm, relational approach to trauma-informed consulting that honours the complexity of your setting, I would welcome a conversation.
