About Laurie

Laurie is an experienced facilitator specialising in domestic abuse, safeguarding, and trauma informed practice, having worked in education, supported children and families, and delivered safeguarding programmes for the NSPCC.

Alongside her professional experience, Laurie’s lived experience has shaped her passion for helping others to understand, recognise and respond to domestic abuse in a safe and informed way.

Currently, Laurie delivers training to professionals across a range of sectors, covering topics including: domestic abuse; healthy relationships; safeguarding; coercive and controlling behaviour; and trauma informed practice. Her passion for domestic abuse awareness has enabled her to facilitate meaningful conversations and equip delegates with the tools needed to recognise and support victim/survivors.

Laurie believes that education and awareness are powerful tools for prevention, and she uses this belief to develop practical, useful training that can be applied to real-world situations.
