Sheree Schonian is a multi-award-winning mother, survivor, author, national advocate and sought after keynote speaker. Above all, she is a woman who has turned her pain into purpose.

After enduring 16 years of psychological, emotional, financial, sexual and physical abuse, Sheree made the courageous decision to leave, not just for herself, but for her children’s future. With determination and lived experience, she rebuilt her life from the ground up.

Today, Sheree is a multi-award-winning speaker, counsellor and changemaker. She is the founder of a trauma-informed counselling practice and Liora & Co, a multi-faceted organisation delivering counselling services, training and social impact initiatives.

Driven by a vision that no survivor should ever walk the path of recovery alone, Sheree has become a trusted voice in government reform, corporate training and survivor education. Her work also includes the development of discreet reporting tools and programs that support long-term healing.

Whether she is speaking on corporate stages, contributing to systemic change, or supporting a woman in crisis, Sheree leads with honesty, compassion and hard-won insight.

Her approach is grounded, informed and deeply purposeful, always centring the humanity and strength of those who have been silenced for too long.

Sheree’s story is more than survival. It is a call to action and a powerful reminder that healing is possible, voices matter, and every woman deserves the chance to rise.
