About Me / My Career so far

Parallel to my counselling roles, I have chosen to have a diverse career working in different environments, to enable me to support young people from diverse backgrounds

These include

Children aged 8-18 with severe learning and physical difficulties.
Children aged 6-18 who needed emergency accommodation.
Looked after Children aged between 5-21
Young people aged 13-18 from psychiatric hospitals who needed specialist support to integrate back into society
Young women aged 14+ who were detained in psychiatric hospitals
Secondary school children (11-16) in a mainstream school. SEND requirements and emotional and behavioural needs
Children aged 8-18 who had suffered sexual abuse
Children aged 11-18 who had experienced, and were experiencing, being sexually exploited.
Boys aged 11-21 who exhibit sexually harmful behaviours.

Through my career I have progressed to management, have gained qualification in every different sector, and have an extensive portfolio of specialist training.

My enhanced DBS and safeguarding training requirements have been continuously updated throughout my career and are both not due to expire until 2022.
