Speaking & keynotes
Honest, trauma-informed talks that inform, challenge, and strengthen, without shock tactics or sensationalism.
I speak to inform, challenge, and strengthen. Every talk is grounded, trauma-informed, and shaped around the needs of your audience.
A speaker you can trust with your audience
I am a TEDx speaker, published author, ordained minister, and certified mindset and trauma-informed coach, with over two decades of experience speaking across churches, conferences, corporate organisations, and national platforms.
I have spoken at the House of Lords and TEDx Birmingham City University, and was invited to 10 Downing Street through my advocacy work for abused women. I have been featured on ITV News, TBN UK, BBC Radio WM, Premier Christian Radio, and in multiple national publications.
My speaking draws from lived experience of abuse, forced marriage, trauma, spiritual harm, and rebuilding. I speak with honesty, sensitivity, and authority, creating carefully held conversations where difficult subjects can be explored with clear boundaries, appropriate care, and relevant signposting.
