I have gained a plethora of knowledge since starting my journey in Substance Use as a volunteer in 2005, before gaining paid employment within the field in 2006. I have predominantly worked with the Concerned Other, providing substance awareness initially and delivering: The Parent And Carers Training (PACT), SMART Recovery Family and Friends Group, Community Reinforcement And Family Therapy (CRAFT), and Parenting Under Pressure (PuP). My foundation is built on Counselling, and I believe in a ‘holistic’ approach, therefore gaining qualifications as a Diet and Nutrition Advisor, Eating Psychology Coach, Mindfulness, alongside Business, Finance & Management.
Service user feedback: Knowledgeable, wise, understanding, supportive, non-judgemental, objective, professional and caring.
