Leann, CEO &Founder
Hello, I’m Leann, Founder of Believe in Beyond CIC. I’m passionate about supporting women to find their voice following sexual trauma. As someone who has lived in the body of a survivor for most of my life, I understand how hard the daily fight can become. The impacts of abuse run deep and can last a lifetime—surviving can be truly debilitating at times. Having the right support networks around you can be life-changing. This is why I wanted “Believe” to be created.
“To live in the body of a survivor is to never be able to leave the scene of a crime. I cannot ignore the fact that I live here.”
— Blythe Baird
Chloe, Director, Head of IT & Socials
I’m Chloe, and my passion lies in creating safe, uplifting spaces for women to connect, heal, and grow.
Though I’m not a therapist, I’ve seen the lasting impact of abuse through my mum’s journey, and I understand how deeply it can shape generations. I’m driven to build a community where women feel seen, supported, and celebrated.
Lisa, Director
With over 13 years of experience as a counsellor, in which I have also specialised in supporting survivors of domestic abuse and sexual violence, I have become deeply committed to trauma-informed care.
I feel joining Believe in Beyond is a natural extension of my passion and purpose—to facilitate safe, empowering counselling to women healing from sexual trauma. I believe every survivor deserves to be heard, believed, and supported on their journey beyond trauma.
Jessica, Director
My name is Jessica, and I’m one of the Directors at Believe in Beyond. Supporting women who have faced adversity has always been a deep passion and commitment of mine.
Having personally spent over a decade in a violent and abusive relationship, I understand the profound challenges, hardships, and emotional scars that survivors carry. My own journey has given me unique insight into the resilience it takes to rebuild.
I truly believe that healing and empowerment begin in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment—one where every woman feels seen, heard, and valued
