Trauma at work.

TRAUMA & YOUR BUSINESS

It doesn’t stay at home. It walks into the office in one person who’s barely holding on — and it quietly costs you a fortune.

THE TRUTH NOBODY SAYS

You’ve seen it. The colleague who snapped over something tiny. The one who went quiet, then just… left. The Monday you sat at your desk and couldn’t get going, and called it being tired.

None of that is weakness, and none of it is laziness. It’s a nervous system doing exactly what it learned to do a long time ago — long before this job, this office, this team. We don’t check our past in at reception. We bring the whole of ourselves to work, wounds included.

Most of it never gets said out loud. So it leaks out sideways instead — as burnout, conflict, mistakes, sick days, and good people walking out the door.

Nobody leaves their childhood at reception.

THE COST

What it costs when it goes unspoken.

Trauma at work isn’t a soft issue. It’s a line on your P&L.

€20.5bn

lost by German employers in a single year through mental illness (BAuA, 2023)

33 days

the average length of one mental-health sick note in Germany, 2024 — almost five weeks

33%+

of a salary is what it costs to replace one good person who burns out and leaves

It shows up as:

And the part most leaders miss: for every €1 spent supporting your people’s mental health, employers see around €4.70 back in productivity. Doing nothing is the expensive option.

WAYS I HELP

For your business. And your people.

Four ways in, depending on what your team needs right now.

Confidential 1:1 hours

Buy a block of hours. Anyone on your team who’s struggling can come and talk to me — outside the company, no manager in the room, no clinical label. It’s the human version of the EAP hotline nobody ever calls. Ten, twenty or forty hours; pricing on enquiry.

Crisis Call

When someone needs an outside perspective now — a decision, a conflict, a wall they’ve hit — they get me on a call, fast. Sometimes one honest conversation changes the whole week. See Crisis Call →

Keynote

I get on a stage and say the things people feel but never say out loud — about trauma, resilience, and why your people are the business. Real, raw, and useful, not another motivational slideshow. See Keynote →

Workshops & leadership

Half-day and full-day sessions with teams and leaders: how trauma quietly shapes behaviour, communication and burnout — and what to actually do about it. Practical, honest, no jargon.
