October is Domestic Abuse Awareness Month…

An estimated 3.8 million people aged 16 and over experienced domestic abuse in England and Wales in the year ending March 2025.

My story is one of those statistics and the reason the programme Bold, Brave & Beautiful exists.

I have experienced abuse at many points during my lifetime, thankfully I broke the cycle in 2018. Since then finding my way back to myself has meant much more than leaving a relationship. It has meant looking at what I believed about myself, what I accepted, where my boundaries were and learning to trust my own voice enough to really listen to it.

None of that made the abuse my fault. The responsibility belongs to the person who chose to abuse. My resposibility was enagaging with the work of rebuilding.

For a long time, I’ve shared parts of my story in the third person. There have been reasons for that, including protecting people I love and feeling afraid of what speaking openly might bring. Recently, I’ve been thinking about telling it in the first person.

After all is it is my story, my voice and somewhere along that journey, I made a pledge to myself: to learn to love myself unconditionally.

I’m still learning what that means in practice. Sometimes it means having an uncomfortable conversation. Sometimes it means holding a boundary. Sometimes it means letting myself be loved and supported, rather than feeling I have to carry everything.

**Bold, Brave and Beautiful grew from that journey.**

I created it to support individuals in reconnecting with themselves, questioning the beliefs that keep them small and making choices that honour who they are.

You don’t have to have experienced domestic abuse to recognise the feeling of losing yourself in other people’s needs and expectations.

You can be capable, intelligent and the person everyone turns to—and still need space to ask:

What do I need?
What do I want?
What am I ready to change?

⭐️ Why I never start with a solution ⭐️

The biggest frustration I have with sales emails is that they usually jump straight to the solution.

“Here’s our training.”

“Here’s our software.”

“Here’s how we can fix your problem.”

The problem is… nobody has taken the time to understand whether that IS actually the problem.

This is one of the reasons I work differently.

When I partner with an organisation, I don’t start by recommending training, consultancy or a particular package. I start by understanding what’s happening beneath the surface.

Why are incidents increasing?

Why are staff leaving?

Why are audits highlighting the same issues?

What is already working well?

Where are the opportunities to strengthen practice?

Once we understand those things collaboratively we can identify the next logical step.

Sometimes that may be a review of existing systems.

Sometimes it’s developing new resources or leadership support.

Sometimes it is further tailored training.

The point is, the solution should always fit the organisation not the other way around.

My reputation has not been built on the number of workshops I deliver or consultancy days I sell.

It’s built on the impact organisations achieve afterwards.

Better confidence.

Stronger leadership.

Safer, more consistent practice.

Improved outcomes for the people they support.

If you are looking for someone to simply deliver a course, I am probably not the right fit, however, if you’re looking for a strategic partner who will take the time to understand your organisation, work alongside your team and help you create meaningful, lasting improvements then I would love to have a conversation.

Over the past few months, I have spent some time reflecting on the work I do and, more importantly, how I talk about it. Like many of us, I have realised that what we do evolves over time, and sometimes our message needs to evolve too.

Since starting my business in August 2023 I have described myself as a coach. While that's true, it is only part of the story. The years spent honing my clinical skills, transformational knowledge and 20+ years of health & social care experience have truly aligned with the coaching & holistic approaches I utilise.

Much of my work now sits at the intersection of leadership development, organisational development, coaching and clinical practice. I work with organisations that want to create healthier cultures, support leaders through complexity and build workplaces where people can thrive rather than simply cope.

Whether I'm working with executive teams, facilitating leadership development, providing clinical guidance or supporting organisations through change, the focus is always the same: helping people and organisations flourish together.

Over the next few weeks, I will be sharing more of that work with you.

I will be writing a series of short reflections and case studies about the challenges organisations are facing, the learning from working alongside leaders and teams, and why I believe sustainable change comes from looking at both people and the systems they work within - the exact thing that prompted my exit from the NHS around 3 years ago.

I will also be sharing some examples of projects I have been privileged to support, highlighting the approaches that have made a real difference while, of course, respecting confidentiality.

My hope is that these updates will offer useful insights, spark ideas for your own organisation and perhaps encourage conversations about how we can create healthier, more compassionate workplaces.

If any of the topics resonate with you, or if your organisation is navigating change and you would like to explore how I might be able to help, I would be delighted to have a conversation.

Coaching vs Therapy: Why the Difference Matters

This question has come up often in conversations with clients and others who are keen to know the difference.

Both coaching and therapy create space for growth, reflection and change. Both involve deep listening, trust, and meaningful conversations, they serve different purposes.

Therapy often helps people understand, heal and process experiences that may be impacting their wellbeing today. It can provide support when life feels overwhelming, painful, or difficult to navigate.

Coaching, on the other hand, is typically focused on helping people move forward. It supports individuals who are ready to explore possibilities, clarify goals, overcome obstacles and take action toward the future they want to create.

The distinction isn’t about one being better than the other in fact they compliment each other massively.

It’s about understanding what support is needed at a particular point in someone’s journey.

Sometimes healing needs to come first.

Sometimes growth is the next step.

Anyone can benefit from both, at different stages of their lives.

As coaches, it’s our responsibility to recognise the boundaries of our profession, work ethicallyand signpost clients to therapeutic support when appropriate. This is something I stand by hugely it also includes a level of insight & openness from clients as to their current position & needs

The most effective support isn’t about fitting someone into a particular service it’s about helping them access what they genuinely need.

As a coach myself I am trauma informed and have an extensive understanding and background with regards to mental health & trauma. I also have an extensive network of other practitioners & professionals around me so you can be assured in working with me that you will have the relevant signposting & support available at the time that you need. This is my due diligence & responsibility.

The element of responsibility that sits with any clients I work with is that you share with me if you feel you need more support as no one can truly know how someone is feeling unless they share.

True transformation is collaborative 💖

Another fantastic few days delivering Medication Administration and Emergency First Aid at Work training for the team at Emplace Care

The results speak for themselves:

✅ 100% of learners rated the training as Excellent
✅ 100% said they would be Very Likely to recommend the training
✅ Strong assessment results across both courses
✅ 100% practical competency achieved in First Aid training

It was great to see such engagement throughout both sessions, with learners highlighting the value of practical scenarios, CPR, head injury management, medication legislation, error reduction and recording and reporting procedures.

Most importantly, delegates left feeling more confident in applying their knowledge and skills to support children and young people safely and effectively.

Thank you to everyone at Emplace Care for your participation, enthusiasm, and commitment to continuous professional development.

Looking forward to facilitating Epilepsy Awareness & Vagus Nerve Stimulation training later on this week

I love the conversations I have with business owners and directors. The ones where they share their vision for the business and the stories of how the experiences within their personal and professional life have shaped where they are today.

I had one of those conversations this morning, a high energy and amazing visionary conversation with the pinnacle lightbulb moment...

" I was asked the other day if my business was saleable. I realised it isn't because I have all of the ideas and plans in my head and nothing documented. This is where I need you, Steph. I need you to pull everything out of my head and help me make sense of it. I need your support with the strategy"

It is so easy to have so many ideas floating around in your head, as business owners & leaders we often struggle to take the time to formulate the structure needed to share the vision with others. This is where I come in. I have conducted so many business audits and supported business owners to get real clarity on how they can make their dreams a reality whilst getting the balance.

Not a one size fits all method but a truly holistic approach utilising your strengths and personality to support the action plan.

𝗖𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗴𝗲: 𝗔 𝗝𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽

This month marks a very special milestone for Ian & I - Our first wedding anniversary. The first of many anniversaries I will share with my soulmate.

As I reflect on the past year, I am reminded that every meaningful achievement comes with a journey. Reaching this anniversary has not simply been about celebrating a date on the calendar; it has been about recognising the commitment, perseverance, growth and love that have carried us to this point.

Prior to meeting Ian my life had seen many lessons which at times were extremely challenging, these lessons are the reason I live my life the way I do and carry out the work I do.

Like many worthwhile journeys, ours has included moments of joy, challenges that tested us, lessons that strengthened us and experiences that deepened our appreciation for one another. There were times when patience was required, times when faith was needed, and times when we had to consciously choose understanding and support over ease and comfort.

This milestone has reminded me that the most valuable things in life are rarely achieved without effort. Success in relationships, much like success in business, personal development, or any meaningful goal, is built through consistency, resilience and a willingness to keep moving forward together.

As I celebrate this first anniversary, I do so with gratitude for the journey, for the lessons and for the person who has walked beside me through it all. It is a reminder that while milestones are important, it is the daily commitment and dedication behind them that truly deserve celebration. ❤️
