About Us

People & Practice is led by Hazel Behan, an experienced administrator, facilitator, organiser and Trauma Informed Practitioner with over 25 years' experience working in community, voluntary and people-centred settings.

Hazel has spent more than two decades supporting organisations, leaders and teams to operate effectively, particularly in environments where the work is complex, sensitive, or highly relational. Her background combines strong operational competence with a deep understanding of how people and systems interact.

Her experience includes:

• over 25 years working in administration and operational support roles

• extensive experience in community, voluntary and people-based organisations

• providing administrative and PA support to Boards of Management, busy business owners and elected representatives

• planning and delivering both corporate and community events, including marketing, ticket sales, scheduling and on-the-day coordination

• social media content creation and management

• working with print and television media

• co-founding and helping to build a successful community-based organisation

People & Practice brings this experience together in a way that is calm, practical and dependable. Hazel is known for her ability to listen carefully, organise complex pieces of work, hold appropriate boundaries and create structure where it is needed.

People & Practice is not a clinical or therapeutic service. It is an independent practice offering facilitation and operational support that helps organisations function well, communicate clearly and sustain their work over time.
