Ways to work with me

For individuals

My trauma awareness training and ICF accreditation means you’re in safe hands.  I offer 1:1 coaching/ mentoring/ workshops for Adult Children of Alcoholics and ACE‑impacted high achievers who want to:

Stop over‑functioning and burning out for everyone else.
Set boundaries without guilt and lead with confidence.
Succeed in work and life without losing wellbeing.

For Organisations

I design and deliver ACE‑aware, trauma‑informed programmes that help leaders:

Work out a way to support staff while also keeping business objectives top of mind.
Recognise how early adversity shows up as overwork, people‑pleasing, conflict‑avoidance, and burnout and what to do about it without it turning into therapy.
Lead wellbeing and performance conversations through a trauma‑informed lens, not just a performance one.

Keynote speaking

Françoise is a trauma‑informed coach and specialist in supporting Adult Children of Alcoholics in high‑pressure organisations. An ACOA herself, she blends lived experience with ongoing study in trauma, ACEs and organisational behaviour to decode the “invisible histories” driving burnout, over‑performance and people‑pleasing at work.
Françoise works with leaders, HR and wellbeing teams to create cultures that no longer rely on self‑sacrifice to keep everything running smoothly. Through coaching, workshops and keynotes, she helps organisations recognise the hidden strengths of staff who grew up in chaos – their crisis competence, emotional intelligence and loyalty – while protecting them from the patterns that lead to exhaustion and self‑betrayal.

Podcasts

Françoise talks about her life as an ACOA, the work she does in the coaching space and how so many of her clients are rarely supported adequately in the workplace. Her mission is to create more trauma aware, psychologically safe work place cultures.
