Lived Experience with Clinical Expertise
A survivor, practitioner, and educator, Dr Lydia heads a team that is committed to building a safer future for children.
She is a childhood abuse survivor who turned pain into purpose.
Over the years, I trained as a psychotherapist and ACEs Specialist Consultant, working across education, health, social care, and community settings.
Dr Lydia combines her personal journey with clinical frameworks so teams not only learn what ACEs are, but they also learn how to respond with confidence and care.
