Helen Gould

Senior Diversity and Inclusion consultant and trainer

Qualifications: BA (Hons) in English Literature | Level 4 Certificate in Education and Training (CET)

Helen Gould (he/she/they) is an experienced trainer, consultant, and social justice advocate with over a decade of expertise in racial equality, LGBTQ+ inclusion, and cultural competency. Their passion for inclusion began at the University of Warwick, where they were elected Women’s Officer in their third year.

After moving to London in 2013, Helen quickly became involved in grassroots activist groups, advocating for racial justice and gender equality. At the same time, they developed an interest in the gaming industry, immersing themselves in the London indie gaming scene. This led to the fusion of their two passions—social justice and media—resulting in a series of thought-provoking talks and workshops, including: • Wakanda, Africa, and Alternate Futures
• Get Out: The Horror of Whiteness
• Stale, Male, and Pale: Character Creation and Diversity in Gaming
• Will You Join In Our Crusade? Portrayals of Protest in Fiction and Reality

In 2018, Helen transitioned into full-time freelance work, primarily focusing on sensitivity consultation, a crucial editorial role that helps authors portray marginalised groups with authenticity and depth while avoiding harmful stereotypes. Their expertise in this area led to their role as Lead Sensitivity Editor at Rusty Quill Ltd., where they later became Head of Inclusion, integrating diversity into business operations.

Helen joined Diversiti UK in 2023, where they have designed and delivered a range of impactful training programs covering topics such as unconscious bias, intersectionality, privilege, inclusive behaviours, and language. Their approach blends honesty with kindness, fostering an environment where participants feel safe to learn, grow, and engage in meaningful discussions. In their sessions, there is no shame in ignorance—only the expectation that everyone is committed to progress. Helen is a dedicated advocate for inclusion, using education and dialogue to inspire lasting change.
