If you need to communicate clearly, under pressure, in public, or when it really matters, I can help. I’m Trisha Hewitt, a senior comms consultant based in Cornwall. I’ve spent over two decades supporting councils, charities and public-facing organisations through complex conversations, local engagement and moments of real intensity.

Clients bring me in when trust is on the line and the message has to land well. I offer calm, honest advice, backed by experience and sound judgement. Whether it's shaping strategy, managing media or handling issues in real time, I help teams stay clear, credible and in control, especially when stakes are high.

Calm under pressure

I stay steady when the pressure’s on. Clients often bring me in when timing, tone and clarity really matter.

Story-led, people first

With a background in journalism, I focus on messages that make sense, to the people hearing them, not just the people saying them.

Knows the
local landscape

I understand how things work here, in Cornwall’s communities and councils, but I bring a strategic, national perspective.

Straightforward,
always

No spin. No jargon. Just thoughtful, well-judged communication that gets the job done.

I provide calm, senior-level communications support across a range of contexts, from crisis response and long-term planning to stakeholder engagement and story-led content.

Video content support

Thoughtful, purpose-led video content. I work with a trusted collaborator to plan, script and produce films that tell your story - clearly, confidently and without fuss.

Crisis comms management

When the pressure’s on, I help you respond with clarity and care. From press statements to internal updates, I calmly guide organisations through difficult moments.

Strategic Communications

I support public-facing projects and place-based programmes with clear, well-judged messaging. That includes campaign planning, stakeholder strategy and long term tone of voice work.

Media, writing and training

I help teams say what matters, and say it well. Whether I’m writing statements, editing briefings or preparing spokespeople, I keep language clear, human and rooted in real-world context.
