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.”

"Enjoyed the workshops, facilitator was engaging and considerate. Easy to talk to and engage with. Thanks for making what could have been a triggering experience feel safe, inclusive and enjoyable. I feel I learnt a lot and your lived experience put me at ease and meant you could say you get things and understand etc and really mean it!"

Anonymous participant, Using Your Lived Experience Workshop Series

"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."
