Governance Clarity & Strategic Calm for Leaders

Who Can’t Afford Chaos

When the stakes are high and the room is tense, I help leaders cut through the corporate theatre and get honest about what’s really happening, and protect their organisation from reputational, regulatory, and operational risk.

WHAT I DO

I help organisations stop small problems becoming headlines.


I work with leaders, boards, and professional services firms who need someone they can trust with the truth; the risks, the gaps, the blind spots, and the things no one wants to put in a PowerPoint.

My work sits at the intersection of governance, risk, and reputation.
If something is quietly on fire, I’m the person you call

I support organisations with:

  • Governance clarity and risk diagnostics
  • Commercial reputation protection
  • Reputational risk management
  • Crisis response and strategic calm
  • Legal and regulatory communications
  • Media handling and narrative control
  • Stakeholder alignment when everything feels messy

I don’t do spin.

I do stability.

About Me; Trish 

The calm in the chaos. The truth in the noise. The adult in the room.


I’m a governance‑led reputation and risk specialist with over 40 years’ experience helping leaders navigate high‑stakes situations with clarity, confidence, and control.


I’ve worked inside law firms, professional services, and communications consultancies, supporting organisations through:

  • regulatory investigations
  • reputational crises
  • leadership failures
  • operational breakdowns
  • media scrutiny
  • stakeholder conflict

My approach is simple:
No jargon. No judgement. No theatre.
Just the truth, the plan, and the path forward.

I also run Repossession Rescue, supporting people facing the human consequences of organisational and systemic failure. It keeps my work grounded in reality, and reminds me why governance and oversight matter.

I work with leaders, boards, and teams who need clarity, calm, and someone they can trust with the truth.

When something feels off; a risk, a reputational threat, a regulatory issue, or a situation you can’t afford to mishandle; the first step is a calm, honest conversation.

No pressure.
No judgement.
No theatre.
