Trustees

Audrey Stephenson

Audrey Stephenson studied at Tufts University, gaining her first interdisciplinary degree in a mix of Pre-Law and Social Psychology. She followed that up with research at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, before working for a couple years in legal research whilst stalling Law School. Criminology linked her love of psychology and the law and Cambridge University called across the pond. She got her Masters and then moved to London, studying for a PhD while starting her consulting career at the Serious Fraud Office and a fellowship at the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies. She stepped off the academic train at the eleventh hour, going into economic crime security consulting. A long and tangled road led her back to psychology, after 15 years of being a criminologist, then retraining as a therapist.

Her current practice reflects a broad clientele bringing issues of – stress, stuckness, anxiety, fractured relationships, dissatisfaction with life, addictive or compulsive behaviours and feelings of failure and overwhelm, to name a few.

Brigitte Herren

Brigitte Herren – Trustee

Brigitte is a Management Consultant and trained Psychotherapist. She holds degrees in Communication, Business, International Relations, and Psychotherapy, and runs a small private evening therapy practice alongside her consulting work.

Her management work focuses on helping organisations metabolise pressure rather than transmit it — preserving performance, integrity, and psychological safety under change. This dual perspective, spanning organisational systems and human depth, gives her distinctive insight into how individuals, groups, and organisations navigate complexity, transformation, and conflict — a lens she brings to her role as trustee, supporting Re-Vision’s governance, strategic development, and long-term sustainability.

Brigitte’s connection with Re-Vision began through its Transitions course, an experience that had a lasting impact on her and strengthened her commitment to the organisation’s work.
