A NOTE FROM SHERVANA
Why Trauma-Informed Leadership is Non-NegotiableÂ
Trauma and stress don’t stay at home. They show up in your organisation every day—driving burnout, poor retention, emotional shutdown, team conflict, and leadership fatigue. These aren't HR problems. They’re nervous system issues that directly impact your bottom line. And they require trauma-informed solutions.Â
The problem is, most corporate wellness solutions focus on surface-level stress management even though what high performers are really dealing with is unresolved trauma, chronic overfunctioning, and nervous system dysregulation—issues that undermine performance, leadership capacity, and workplace culture.
Without a trauma-informed approach, your best people may continue to:
- Push through burnout and lead from stress rather than strategy
- Struggle with emotional availability, adaptability, or team connection
- Eventually crash—emotionally, relationally, or professionally

Trauma-Informed Consulting for High-Performance Workplaces
High achievers may appear “fine” on the surface, but when pressure builds, the cost to your organisation shows up as:
- Declining productivity
- Increased turnover and disengagement
- High absenteeism and presenteeism
- Poor communication and conflict
- Burnout, low morale, and leadership fatigue
And that’s where we come in to provide organizational wellness culture and leadership strategy and deliver strategic, research-informed mental health support for the people driving your organisation.
We work with organisations that want more than feel-good workshops because they know that mental health and leadership wellbeing are business priorities—not afterthoughts.Â
Our approach transforms organisational culture from covert dysfunction to high performance. We equip leaders with the emotional intelligence and stress tolerance required to thrive under pressure, while helping organisations reduce the cost of burnout, chronic stress, and unresolved trauma. The result? Better engagement, stronger retention, higher productivity, and healthier team dynamics—delivered through a trauma-informed lens.
When you work with Espoir, you get measurable business outcomes:
- Increased Productivity:Â Teams perform better when stress is managed and nervous systems are regulated.
- Better Retention:Â A culture of psychological safety keeps your top talent engaged and loyal.
- Reduced Burnout:Â Trauma-informed strategies prevent costly turnover and employee collapse.
- Stronger Leadership:Â Leaders who understand emotional regulation lead with clarity and confidence.
- Measurable Outcomes:Â Every intervention is tailored to support your business objectives, not just employee wellness.
Whether we're working with your C-suite, HR team, or entire staff, our work focuses on nervous system regulation, emotional intelligence, and trauma-informed leadership—so your people can perform, relate, and lead with clarity.
How We Support Your Organization
Organisational Wellness & Leadership Strategy
 Â
1. Executive Therapy & Leadership Support
Confidential, high-touch therapy for leaders and executives.
We help founders, C-level executives, and senior managers who operate under high stress and high stakes navigate stress, burnout, and leadership challenges without compromising performance. This one-on-one support helps leaders build resilience, improve emotional regulation and relational intelligence, strengthens decision-making under pressure, and prevent burnout—so they can show up fully for both their teams and themselves.
Â
2. Trauma-Informed Team Trainings
Workshops that build resilient, emotionally intelligent teams.
We deliver practical, evidence-based sessions designed to equip leaders and their teams with practical tools to regulate stress, increase resilience and emotional intelligence, navigate conflict, build team cohesion, and foster a culture of psychological safety.Â
Our training topics include:
- Leading Through Trauma: Strategies for High-Stakes Environments
- Emotional Intelligence & Team Performance for High-Stakes Teams
- Burnout Prevention for High Performers & High-Stakes Teams
- Nervous System Regulation at Work: Practical Tools for StressÂ
Â
3. Organisational Wellness Consulting
Culture, systems, and strategy through a trauma-informed lens.
We audit and advise on workplace culture, policies, and systems to align them with trauma-informed, human-centered practices. We work with HR teams and leadership to identify gaps in policies, communication, and organisational culture that affect employee wellbeing and retention. From policy reviews to wellness strategies, we help you build a people-first culture that drives results. Our goal is to help you create environments that minimise stress triggers, foster trust, and promote high performance.
Â
4. Clinical Debriefing & Crisis Support
Post-crisis therapeutic processing for teams and leaders.Â
Workplace trauma—whether due to sudden loss, conflict, or high-intensity events—can derail even the strongest teams. When workplace crises, losses, or high-stress events occur, we provide structured debriefing to help teams process emotions, reduce tension, and move forward with clarity and cohesion. Our structured somatic debrief sessions create a safe, facilitated environment for employees to process and recover while maintaining organisational stability.
Packages available for individuals, teams, and full organisations. All consultancy services are provided by Shervana. Services can be delivered virtually or on-site (where applicable).

Why Shervana
You don’t need another wellness initiative. You need a strategic partner.
I'm Shervana, trauma therapist, somatic practitioner, and organisational wellness and leadership consultant. I work with companies, founders, and executives to address the hidden cost of unprocessed trauma in the workplace—and build cultures that support both human wellbeing and high performance.
I don’t deliver generic wellness content—I provide clinically grounded, research-informed strategy designed for high-pressure environments. With over a decade of trauma expertise, advanced training in somatic therapy, doctoral research in developmental trauma, leadership and organisational psychology, I bring both clinical depth and executive insight to every organisation I serve.
I’ve worked across education, law, finance, public service, and healthcare—supporting both frontline professionals and C-level leaders. I understand both the human nervous system and the high-stakes world of leadership and performance where pressure is constant and people are expected to perform regardless of how they feel.
That’s why I deliver structured, trauma-informed strategy grounded in research and tailored to your workplace realities—so you get both human-centred care and measurable business results.
