What My Clients are Saying

Working at home

Lis Hoyte was a fantastic speaker at my Women’s Empowerment event in August 2024 in Ireland. She delivered a powerful and eye-opening talk on coercive control, sharing her knowledge with such honesty, depth, and compassion. She genuinely cares and is a powerful advocate for this work to bring awareness to a much needed conversation. Her passion and heart-led approach deeply resonated with the audience and brought so much value leaving a lasting impression on everyone in the room.

Happy Person

On 22nd January we had the pleasure of having Lis Hoyte in school to deliver workshops to students in yrs 9, 10, 11 and 6th form on positive mindset, coercive control and misogynistic behaviour. Lis tailored the sessions for each year group in order to meet the contextual need of the students as well as raising awareness. She was engaging and professional with lots of positive feedback from both students and staff. We would definitely recommend working with Lis and would look to work with her ourselves again in the future.
