Compassion-Focused DEI Training

Equip your organisation with the tools to build truly inclusive and equitable workplaces.

My bespoke training programmes combine DEI principles with trauma-informed practices to address systemic harm and create a culture of belonging.

Gain a deeper understanding of power, privilege, and systemic oppression through workshops tailored to your team, staff network or Employee Resource Group. I guide participants recognise harmful practices, centre collective care, and foster meaningful change.

  • “I only have superlatives for the quality of your work. You have an excellent ability to listen and reflect. You ensure that work is done rigorously, helping to tease out tensions and maintain the focus of the overarching aim of the work. Most importantly, you create and foster an environment where those doing the work are treated with respect and dignity.”

    — Ruby Zelzer, EDI Associate, Wellcome Trust

  • “It was a really blessing to be Karen's co-trainer at Rooted In Resistance - a 12 week training programme for environmental activists of colour that Karen created and led on. She is holistic, passionate, caring and beyond that - incredibly wise. Working with her was always joy. She knew exactly how to support people, and support them in bringing out their own power. As a lead trainer and pastoral lead, she knew exactly when to offer advice and teaching. Her approach is innovative and powerful. Thank you Karen for guiding and supporting me and our incredible cohort!”

    — Nish Doshi

  • “Karen led a brilliant campaigning session with our network of lived experience leaders. Karen training was thoughtful and sensitive to the needs of the group and left our network feeling inspired to campaign with the tools to begin their journey into campaigning strategy. I would highly recommend her as a trainer!”

    — Helena Hastings, Communications Manager, Sounddelivery Media
