Practical GDPR support for organisations that need to get it right
As a data protection consultant, I help organisations turn complex GDPR obligations into clear, practical steps they can actually implement. Drawing on extensive experience advising and training teams in higher and further education, professional services, and SMEs, I focus on building defensible, well-documented compliance that fits how your organisation really works. Whether you need a one-off audit, help with records of processing, policies and notices, or engaging staff training, I provide calm, structured support so you can manage risk, demonstrate accountability, and get on with running your business.
My Approach
Data protection only works if it makes sense to the people who have to use it, so my approach is always practical, collaborative and tailored to each organisation. Rather than handing over a stack of policies, I work with your teams to understand how you actually collect and use personal data, and then design solutions that fit your real workflows and constraints.
Every engagement starts with listening: mapping key risks, clarifying priorities, and agreeing a clear, realistic plan so you know what will happen and when. From there, I focus on small, manageable steps that build towards a robust, well‑documented GDPR framework – combining straightforward templates, clear explanations and hands‑on support with training, DPIAs, records of processing and incident response.
Throughout, the emphasis is on building internal confidence and capability, not dependence on an external consultant. By the end of a project, your organisation should not only be more compliant on paper, but also more confident in day‑to‑day decisions about personal data, with staff who understand both the “rules” and the reasons behind them.
“Good data protection isn’t about fear and fines; it’s about respecting people every time their information is used.”
