An organisation that breaks the fourth wall.
Soundproofbox is an organisation that turns up the volume on critical social issues affecting our communities and workplaces to educate and inspire change.
Many victims of abuse feel unheard or that their voices have been taken away. It can be hard to speak out against violence, coercive control, bullying, harassment, and other forms of abuse.
Our flagship Red Flags interactive theatre, creative workshops and engaging talks, we invite the audience into the story, raising awareness and understanding as well as empowering victims and bystanders to change the narrative and stamp out on major societal issues
Our work with schools, public sector and businesses enables us to provide interactive workshops, helping people to regain their voice and move forward with confidence.

Our story and Lise Kaye-Bell, Founder & Director
With a background in acting and corporate learning and development, Lise Kaye-Bell founded Soundproofbox to tackle societal issues through creative solutions.
A decade ago, she had a thriving international career in organisational development. However, years of coercive control in two consecutive relationships led to a breakdown, costing her everything—her career, home, and even custody of her daughter.
Determined to turn her pain into purpose, she created Soundproofbox, using interactive theatre to help young people recognise red flags in relationships. Two years on, the organisation has impacted thousands, partnered with police, schools, businesses, and communities, and received award nominations.
Today, Soundproofbox has expanded to offer:
• Workplace training on relationships and culture
• Therapy and retreats
• Educational programmes for schools and universities
Lise brings 20+ years of leadership development experience, having worked with RWE, Aggreko, and the NHS. A nationally recognised speaker and PSA member, she holds qualifications in learning & development, coaching, counselling, hypnotherapy and public speaking.
A fierce advocate for survivors, she serves on the West Yorkshire NHS trauma-informed steering group and the international change for children board. She has authored two books on coercive control, including "Screaming Inside a Soundproofbox", available on Amazon.
