SUPPORT FOR GROUPS AND ORGANISATIONS

Organisations come to me for different kinds of support.

  • Workshops

  • Longer-term structural support with race equity or culture

  • When conflict or relational strain calls for mediation

    We decide together what form of support is most appropriate.

    My approach is trauma-informed and relational, particularly helpful to work with issues of power, identity and relationship, creating conditions where change, learning and repair can take place.

Mediation support

Where conflict or relational breakdown is present, I offer workplace mediation support.

Mediation provides a structured and confidential space where people can be heard and respected to explore what has happened, and consider what next steps, healing or repair might be possible. I work particularly with situations where power, identity and/or history are clearly shaping current relationships.

Mediation is not about forcing agreement or smoothing things over. It is about creating enough safety and structure for honest conversation, dignity and choice, whether that leads to renewed working relationships, clearer boundaries, or respectful separation.

Workshops & learning spaces

I design and facilitate workshops on race, anti-oppression and embodied approaches to equity. These sessions are:

  • reflective rather than performative

  • interactive, welcoming and non-judgmental

  • grounded in lived experience

  • attentive to emotional and bodily responses

  • structured to support participation, choice, safety and dialogue

Workshops can stand alone or form part of longer-term organisational work.

Race equity support

I support organisations to reflect on and strengthen their approaches to race equity including:

  • policy and practice review

  • reflective spaces for staff and leaders

  • identification of goals and review of action plans

  • embedding anti-racism work in ways that are sustainable and relational

This work recognises that race equity is an ongoing relational process, shaped by history, power, identity and culture, and often held in people’s bodies as much as in systems.

A relational, trauma-aware approach

Across organisational support and mediation, I pay close attention to:

  • power and positionality

  • voice, pacing and participation

  • emotional and nervous-system responses

  • creating conditions where people feel safe enough to engage

This approach is particularly suited to complex organisational contexts, including higher education and values-led organisations.

Working together

If you’re unsure what kind of support would be most helpful — mediation, race equity support or workshops — get in touch and we can explore this together in an initial conversation.
