THINGS CAN LOOK STABLE ON THE OUTSIDE AND STILL NOT FEEL STEADY UNDERNEATH.
There is often a stage after escaping abuse where life appears to be functioning again.
You are working. Parenting. Managing responsibilities. Making decisions.
But internally, things can still feel unclear, mentally exhausting, or harder than expected.
At the same time, many practitioners and organisations are trying to respond to increasingly complex trauma, family violence, psychosocial, and systems-related issues- often without enough support, reflection, or understanding around what these experiences actually involve.
My work sits at the intersection of lived experience, professional practice, systems understanding, and meaningful change.
HOW I WORK
FOR WOMEN REBUILDING
Clarity & Rebuilding Support
Support for professional women navigating life, decisions, systems, and rebuilding after abuse.
This work is grounded, practical, and informed by both professional and lived understanding — particularly where there are ongoing complexities such as family law, coercive control, parenting dynamics, post-separation abuse, and decision fatigue.
FOR PRACTITIONERS
Counselling Supervision for Complex & Systems-Involved Work
Reflective and practical supervision for counsellors, behavioural support practitioners, and helping professionals working in domestic and family violence, trauma, psychosocial complexity, NDIS, and emotionally demanding client work.
FOR ORGANISATIONS
Speaking, Training & Workplace Consultation
Workshops, keynote presentations, and consultancy focused on psychosocial safety, trauma-informed systems, workplace responses to family violence, sexual harassment, and organisational change.
“Working with Liana was truly transformative for both our organisation and the individuals who participated in her training. Her unique combination of professional expertise and lived experience created an authentic connection that simply can’t be taught. She skillfully guided our team through complex issues with compassion, clarity and practical wisdom”
