Thank you for visiting. I’m Lou Chiu (she/her).
I have a geeky, curious brain that contributes to my taking on various interests and projects and a values-led heart that anchors my attention and intention to put some good into the world. For example:
- I work with the complete and unique combination of identities, experiences, and responsibilities that make you ‘you’ and reconnect with your sense of self, values, and purpose.
- I support people to navigate and challenge systemic oppression whilst making sense of increasingly complex professional and social environments.
- I can facilitate healing from collective trauma by using trauma-informed and anti-oppressive practices.
- I help people with those difficult conversations that are so important.
I hope you find what you’re looking for. If not, let’s chat!
Coaching Services
I provide individual and group coaching for people who want to explore their identity, values, and purpose. Together, we would get clarity on what makes you you and the legacies you want to leave behind.
Organisational Learning and Development Services
My services focus on an organisation’s most influential asset, its people. I can help if you have people finding ‘soft skills’ hard.
Facilitation, Mediation, and Listening Groups
Discomfort and conflict don’t tend to feel good but can be a by-product of change alongside innovation and camaraderie. I can help support difficult conversations by holding space for multiple and complex truths.
Development Opportunities for Allies
Allies want to promote social change for all communities, particularly those they do not belong to. It’s not an easy endeavour; you don’t have to do it alone.
Allyship-Informed Coaching
This is for coaches, other helping professionals, and those who lead with a coaching approach. We explore how systemic injustice and oppression affect who we are and what we do.
Research As Resistance Programme
I work with some Doctoral Training Partnerships across the UK on anti-oppressive research practices, researcher well-being, and challenging epistemic injustices.
