I am an experienced, qualified and registered children and families Social Worker. After completing a Bachelor of Arts in Cultural Studies and Sociology I qualified as a Social Worker with a Post Graduate Diploma in Social Work. I then went on to get my Post Qualifying Award in Social Work (Child Care) and took some units in Abuse Studies. I have also received further specialist training in child development; parenting styles and strategies; attachment; sexually harmful behaviour in adolescents; psychology and mental health; trauma and loss. A copy of my CV is available on request.

I am able to provide assessments and family support to families experiencing crisis both privately and on behalf of referring agencies. I can also offer independent consulting and advocacy on cases already open to Children's Services or before the courts should you require an objective eye.

The above list is not exhaustive. If you are in search of support for an issue affecting your family, clients or pupils please do get in touch, using the contact section of this website, to hear about the personalised service I am able to offer.
