For the past 25 years, I have worked with families with multiple and complex needs emanating from experiences of childhood trauma. As an early years practitioner, respite foster carer, domestic violence parenting worker, a social work assistant and a child to parent abuse practitioner, I have learned from ‘doing’ but have also taken on 13 years of self-education relating to trauma and attachment. This is what I bring to my speaking, training, writing, and direct work with foster and kinship carers, also adoptive and birth parents.

My work utilises my direct learning and self-study. I aim to make understanding and supporting Trauma understandable and accessible for all.
