Tricia is a wonderful coach and person. When I work with Tricia, whether on screen or on stage, she’s an invaluable part of my creative process. A talented actor herself, she brings not only deep knowledge and insight but also a rare ability to nurture, lighten, and bring heart to environments that can often feel overwhelming for neurodiverse artists. Having someone in your corner who can help you navigate changes and overcome obstacles whether creative or logistical makes all the difference — it allows you to focus on doing your best work while knowing someone’s easing the anxiety and sensory overload that can so easily take over. Tricia approaches every challenge with humour, compassion, and professionalism. Her presence transforms the atmosphere of a production. If every set had someone like Tricia, we’d all be incredibly lucky. Nathan Armarkwei Laryea, Actor

Working with Tricia was a complete and utter joy. Tricia was an invaluable member of the team and essential in creating an environment where our neurodivergent actors felt comfortable and confident throughout pre production and the shoot itself. She was a key component in ensuring some incredible performances and was not only informative but warm, kind and highly inspiring. Tricia worked closely with Leo Long and played a huge part in helping him achieve such a strong BIFA Nominated performance. Tricia is tactful with her input, a leader, and a hugely talented acting coach who I can’t wait to work more with in future. Eddie Sternberg. Director, I Used to be Famous
But every performance is outstanding in Tinuke Craig's sensitive and lively production right down to the smaller characters such as Dayo Koleosho's regular passenger, Philmore. Sarah Crompton WhatsOnStage Jitney. Old Vic, London 16 June 2022

She supported our neurodivergent child and adult talent with clarity, patience and genuine understanding, enabling them to deliver confident, compelling performances. She played a key role in creating an inclusive, collaborative atmosphere across the set, helping everyone feel supported and at ease. With her deep understanding of both performance and production, she offered tactful, well-judged guidance that elevated the work and enhanced the overall on-set experience. Above all, Tricia is a joy to work with; her calm, compassionate presence made her a truly valued and trusted part of the team. Jacqueline Clyne, Producer, Patience S2
Tricia is a complete inspiration: always kind, clear, energising, and full of creative imagination. She is incredibly patient and extremely observant of a room and the energies and undercurrents at play. She is a great team player and was the creative enabler for all of us at different moments during the rehearsals. George Richmond-Scott, Director, Monster’d
