LEARN MORE ABOUT TRAUMA INFORMED PRACTICES

Meet Suzanne Parrott

In my journey as a Certified Trauma-Informed Coach, I’ve witnessed the powerful and lasting impact that can occur when individuals begin to understand the deeper drivers behind stress, behaviour, and nervous system responses.

With a background shaped by both professional training and lived experience navigating high-pressure environments while balancing the demands of working parenthood, I bring a deeply empathetic and evidence-based approach to my work in trauma-informed coaching and wellbeing.

Like many professionals carrying significant responsibility at work and at home, I experienced first-hand the impact of prolonged pressure, constant multitasking, and the expectation to keep performing while holding everything together. For years, I found myself in a cycle of being “always on” striving to meet demands, yet rarely feeling truly balanced.

Discovering a trauma-informed and nervous system-aware approach created a turning point. Understanding the why behind behaviour both my own and others’ alongside learning practical nervous system regulation strategies and integrating principles of positive psychology provided a new way forward. Instead of simply managing pressure, I began to develop greater resilience, clarity, and a more sustainable approach to wellbeing and performance.

Today, I bring this lived understanding together with professional expertise to support individuals, leaders, and organisations in building healthier, more resilient cultures where people can perform at their best without compromising their wellbeing.

My work centres on human-centred leadership, helping teams and organisations better understand behaviour, stress responses, and the role of the nervous system in communication, decision-making, and workplace dynamics. By increasing awareness and equipping people with practical tools, organisations can create environments that support both productivity and psychological safety.

Through my partnership with The Mental Wellbeing Company, I’m committed to bringing together trauma-informed practices and positive psychology in a way that makes this knowledge accessible, practical, and impactful for organisations, educators, and individuals.

As a Certified Trauma-Informed Coach through The Mental Wellbeing Company, I have completed the ICF and CPD accredited Somatic Trauma-Informed Coaching Certification and am part of the Trauma Informed Professional Network, the fastest-growing community of trauma-informed professionals in the world.

This high-level certification has equipped me with the knowledge and skills to deliver transformative workshops and 1:1 coaching sessions that prioritise the mental health and wellbeing of individuals, teams, and organisations.
