Turning Lived Experience into Life-Saving Knowledge
At Nurture From Within, we believe that education is the most powerful tool for protection. Our workshops are born from a deep personal commitment to ensure that the signs of abuse and coercive control are never missed.
By combining professional safeguarding expertise with lived experience, we provide trauma-informed sessions designed that support cultural change, rebuild self-trust, and increase awareness of abusive patterns before they escalate. Whether you are a professional, a parent, or a young person, these sessions offer the clarity and confidence needed to move back into your power.

The Laurella Workshop
Recognising Coercive Control Early
Created in loving memory of Laura and Ella, this workshop exists because coercive control is often present long before it is recognised. Delivered by Jodie Edith (Clinical Manager and Counsellor), this session provides the “light-bulb moments” where participants finally find the language for experiences that felt unsafe but were hard to name.
Key focus areas:
- Understanding the law surrounding coercive control.
- Learning to trust your instincts when something feels “off.”
- Removing shame and restoring self-trust.
- Clear signposting to specialist organisations and confidential support.
Best for:
- Women and teenagers seeking to understand abusive patterns and reclaim their power in a non-judgmental space.
- Professionals, communities and anyone who wants to be part of making change happen.
