Gabriella Brent

Gabriella oversees Amna’s therapeutic and international training and mentoring programmes, leading Amna’s team to train non-clinical specialists in how to safely implement culturally sensitive trauma-informed care.

Her specialism is in taking therapy out of the therapy room to develop and advocate for more holistic, anti-oppressive therapeutic approaches and systems of care for communities who have experienced multiple adversities.

Before working with Amna, Gabriella worked across family law, criminal justice, mental health and drug treatment services piloting and scaling more humane, trauma-informed, systemic models of care.

Gabriella was drawn to work with communities experiencing toxic stress and trauma due to her own family’s refugee history and the impact of intergenerational trauma.
