testimonials

 “Angela is professional, compassionate, flexible, and pragmatic. She brought a wealth of experience, influence and existing goodwill with other professionals to the work we commissioned her to carry out. She worked collaboratively with myself, communicated clearly, worked to deadlines, and was sensitive to ensuring the input of those with lived experience was centred in the work. I would highly recommend her work to others.” 

Dr Katie Thorlby, Research and Impact Manager, Beyond the Streets 

" Angela was a pleasure to work with, she really listened to our wants whilst balancing this with the need that the process had to be young person led. She was engaging and always made herself available to discuss any needs or concerns. Everything was done in a timely manner which did not feel rushed considering our tight deadline. We would be very happy to work with her again in the future."

" Angela designed and delivered our workshop series ‘Lived Experience in Practice’ ... the feedback received was excellent - delegates found the sessions very useful and enjoyable – but also really valued the take away resources and tools which they found very applicable to their practice. Angela is a very knowledgeable, confident and reassuring facilitator and we felt like we were in safe hands for the course of the series."
