Motivational Speaker
As a motivational speaker, my job is to inspire and challenge, to support people and organisations to bring about change, to grow and develop.
Based in Tunbridge Wells, my work has taken me across Kent, into London and across the UK. I am often asked to take my story to venues up and down the country and across the world.
How do I do this?
Well, I stick my head above the parapet and speak from a place of knowledge and experience, thus informing and shining a light in areas that are often ignored.
I use my story of freedom from addiction, my rise to fame as a model and subsequent fall from grace, to inspire people, challenge them about lifestyles and choices and let them know that they are not alone.
I tell my story with unswerving honesty ensuring all are able to relate to me.
I also challenge the status quo as I speak about the effects of pornography.
I have also spent years counselling couples and individuals as they work through this and other addictive behaviours that affect marriages and relationships.
As a motivational speaker I challenge groups of men and women in various settings, from large arenas to small intimate groups. I am passionate about leaving no stone unturned in my life, in order to bring freedom to others.
Motivational Speaking Workshops
I am experienced at running group workshops within organisations with teams of men and women, supporting communication and discovering about stress management.
My empowered living workshops run with colleague Ania Jeffries provide the space to discover what may be holding you back as you move into the future.

“Susie prepared a 2.5 hour workshop style presentation for our team of 30 in Tunbridge Wells. The time flew by and Susie kept the the pace going and managed to keep everyone on the task throughout.
Considering the dynamic of the team Susie enabled everyone to feel comfortable enough to push themselves even a lttle out of their comfort zone.
The feedback I have had from the team has been overwhelmingly positive and it has encouraged individuals to reflect on their own working style and identify the working style of colleagues in order to improve tea, work and collaboration.
I think that the best outcome has been that the workshop broke down some barriers and encouraged honest conversations to take place.”

“I saw Susie speak at the Women Work event in Tunbridge Wells, 10th March 2017. Susie was speaking as part of a series of health & well-being talks and stood out for two reasons. Firstly, she stepped into someone else’s slot after a technical issue – not easy, and secondly her unwavering honesty on the subject of addiction. Her talk took the format of a letter to her 19- year -old self – it was stripped bare, stark honesty about what she had experienced and come through. I wasn’t expecting to hear such a moving & inspiring talk that day but her ability to deliver that talk with such clarity of voice & humour really touched me and at times bought a lump to my throat. I admire anyone who can speak in public but even more so when the subject is so personal and at times tragic – how she kept it together I’ll never know. In a world where we hide behind emails, texts & social media it was beyond refreshing to listen to a strong woman be totally honest about herself and as a result connect with everyone in that room on a very personal level.”

“If you are looking for, and are interested in, somebody who speaks from the heart on matters of social conscience that concern us all, Susie is that somebody. She gives an inspired and heartfelt presentation which will grip your audience, giving everyone in the room something to reflect upon.”
- Richard Smith, Eyemasters, Hastings
“I had the pleasure of hearing Susie speak at a recent networking meeting I attended. The topic was of a delicate nature and Susie spoke knowledgeably and with sensitivity, which kept the audience’s attention. Susie has an easy-going presentation style and is clearly passionate about her subject. I look forward to hearing another presentation from Susie in due course.”
