My aim is to give support for the family in the home to build up confidence and independence. I have recently retired and plan to use my skills to help on an individual consultancy basis.

In my professional life I trained as a nurse, midwife and Health Visitor, gaining an MSc in Disability Studies, and have spent over 30 years working with families in a variety of situations. In addition to this I am a registered foster parent and CRB checked.

In my personal life I have survived motherhood, which was not without its difficulties over the years, and now have three grown up children.

I draw on my experience in Post Natal Groups, Sleep and Behaviour Clinics, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Motivational Change and more. Working within the voluntary sector and education, I have taught nursery nurses on NNEB courses, run a respite care agency, worked for the Children's Society and established activity schemes for children and teenagers with learning disability.
