ABOUT LIANA
I began my career teaching human rights, law, and policy at both undergraduate and postgraduate level.
Over time, my work evolved into domestic and family violence, trauma-informed practice, systems advocacy, practitioner education, and psychosocial safety.
Alongside this professional experience sits lived experience of domestic and family violence and the realities that can continue long after a relationship ends.
That lived understanding fundamentally shaped how I see this work, how I understand systems, and how I support women, practitioners, and organisations navigating complexity.
Today, my work brings together:
Lived Experience
Counselling & Supervision
Higher Education & Practitioner Training
Systems Literacy & Advocacy
Psychosocial & Organisational Expertise
The work is grounded, direct, compassionate, and deeply informed by both professional and lived understanding.
Featured Areas of Work:
Professional Women Rebuilding After Abuse
Practitioner Supervision
Domestic & Family Violence
Post-Separation Abuse
Coercive Control
Psychosocial Risk
Trauma-Informed Systems
Family Violence Workplace Responses
Professional Women Rebuilding After Abuse
Why This Work Exists
This isn’t therapy-for-therapy’s sake or compliance-box ticking. This is practical, values-driven work for people and institutions ready to go deeper.
Whether it’s:
A Woman Navigating The Court System Post-Separation
A Workplace Leader Unsure How To Respond To A Disclosure
Or A Team Ready To Shift Culture From The Inside Out
…the goal is the same: clarity, confidence, and systemic impact.
Liana’s Experience
Liana has worked across Australia, Europe, and Africa with:
The UN Special Rapporteur for Women
Victoria Police and the New Zealand Police Force
Victoria’s first Victim Survivor Advisory Council
Boards, taskforces, and government departments shaping policy and training
She’s trained 15,000+ officers, run hundreds of workshops, and spoken on national and international stages. And she does it all while grounded in lived experience, with integrity and zero fluff.

OUR VALUES
Justice – Systems must serve people, not retraumatise them.
Integrity – We say what we mean and do what we say.
Freedom – From coercion, burnout, and outdated structures.
Empathy – Not as a buzzword, but as a practice.
Growth – We never stop learning or evolving.
What Makes Us Different
This work isn’t built on theory alone. Liana has survived violence, lost everything, rebuilt her life, and used her experience to influence systems at the highest levels. She brings backbone, boundaries, and deep care without slipping into burnout or saviourism.
