I am passionate about working with people, supporting them to make positive and long-lasting change, particularly at times when life gets too much.
I have a first class degree in psychology, and lots of varied experience working with young people and their families. I have previously worked for a charity as a Family Support Worker supporting children and their parents. I then worked for the local council as a Youth Intervention Worker, with young people at risk of offending, as well as offering advice and support for their families.
I have recently returned to the charity sector, to join the lovely Family Compass team, to manage the Inhale/Exhale project, as well as working directly with the families and young people the project aims to support.
When I’m not working, I’m kept nice and busy by my two young children and am a trustee for a charity which aims to reduce reoffending.
I love spending time with family and friends, and am often found walking my dog, in the woods or on the beach- my happy place!
