Support groups for women only and men only to meet other individuals in similar situations and share experiences. These groups provide support and advice to individuals to help them survive and optimise their wellbeing.

I work with individuals to help them discuss their personal situation, consider their options, and positively move forward. I help individuals work positively with other agencies such as the police, social services, and education.

Wellbeing and Mental Health

I help to maximise an individual’s health and wellbeing during a time of great emotional turmoil and stress.

Sign Posting

Using my wealth of social work knowledge I can effectively sign post individuals to relevant support services.

Child’s perspective

I help individuals see things from a child’s perspective.

Mediation

I prepare individuals for mediation sessions to help them get the best out of these and offer debriefing sessions post mediation which are crucial to process and reflect on each session.
