I graduated as an OT in 2017. I enjoy helping children and families understand how sensory processing impacts daily life and finding ways to improve overall wellbeing. I have three children who keep me very busy, and to balance this I enjoy yoga, spending time outdoors and tending my allotment.

I am the administrator for the Anchor Team, I will be your first port of call in most cases. Helping children and families is very close to my heart. I have 2 little boys who take up a lot of my time outside of work which I adore. I enjoy playing netball and attending soft play and farms with my 2 boys.

I love working with children and families, supporting them to strengthen their relationships and connect in new, meaningful ways. I have a particular interest in helping people of all ages develop greater self-compassion, and I like being able to use creativity in my therapeutic work. In my spare time, I enjoy walking, gaming, or experimenting in the kitchen.

I have worked with adoptive and special guardianship families for the last nine years, and am passionate about offering those families the help, support and understanding they need to flourish. Outside of work I enjoy being outdoors in nature with my family and our dog, outdoor swimming and listening to podcasts about history.

I believe in the importance of adoptive and special guardianship families having access to specialist support that meets their needs. I love having such a varied job and learn so much from those I work with. I am an enthusiastic if amateur gardener and enjoy being in nature, even walking my dog in the rain!

I feel passionately about developing meaningful relationships with families with a focus on helping children and the adults caring for them. I’m so often inspired by the people I get to meet in my job, and I love that I’m always learning something new. Outside of work, I enjoy watching live music, travelling, craft and teaching dance.

I am passionate about supporting families and young people to recover from their attachment trauma and experiences of loss so they can build relational security and experience the joy of connection. Empathy, playfulness, acceptance and curiosity are not only the fundamental values of the psychological approach I use, but they are also deeply felt values. I aim to be compassionate and try to meet everyone where they are at. In my spare time, I love to consume art in all its forms whether it be film, art or even comic books!

I help children, families and schools to identify barriers to learning and explore ways in which children can best be supported to learn and achieve. I believe that education is such an important part of childhood and has a huge impact on our futures. I want to help adoptive and special guardianship families to ensure that education is a positive and enjoyable experience. I really enjoy meeting people, spending time with my family and I enjoy creative hobbies – even if I don’t really produce anything anyone wants!

I love helping parents and carers connect with their children at a deeper level and enjoy each other more. I am often moved by the stories families share with us, and I am committed to support them through the challenges and emotions they bring. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my children, dancing, and horse riding.

I have worked with children and families since 1997. I feel strongly that every child deserves a safe, stable and happy childhood in a loving family and that as professionals we have an obligation to ensure children and their families have the support they need, when they need it, to enable them to thrive. Outside of work I love dog walking adventures, cycling, reading lots of fiction, and spending as much time as I can with my family.
