About

Founded by
Leanne Marie

Learning grounded in what happens in the real world.

Relationship Ready was founded by Leanne Marie, a Counselling & Psychology graduate with four years' frontline experience working within domestic abuse. Her professional experience includes supporting victim-survivors experiencing complex housing-related needs, risk and barriers associated with domestic abuse.

Leanne has undertaken safeguarding training throughout her professional practice and created Relationship Ready to bring practical frontline understanding into prevention education and professional training.

Safeguarding & boundaries

Safeguarding is built into the session design.

Relationship Ready provides preventative education and professional training—not crisis support, counselling or individual casework.

Before any student-facing delivery, Relationship Ready agrees the following with the school or setting:

  • 01

    Named DSL / safeguarding contact

  • 02

    Disclosure and escalation arrangements

  • 03

    Staff presence during delivery

  • 04

    Age/year-group suitability

  • 05

    School/local support routes to signpost

  • 06

    Accessibility or additional-needs considerations where relevant

  • 07

    Post-session support arrangements

Students are never asked or encouraged to disclose personal experiences to the group.

How pilots work

    Short discovery call

  2. 02

    Tailored pilot/session
