I have over 30 years experience working in mental health and addiction recovery. Im often the first point of contact for clients being admitted for treatment. I undertake the clinical observations, risk assessment and formulate an initial 72 hour care plan whilst liaising with the doctor.

When it comes to recovery, | believe everyone is on an equal footing and everyone should be treated as an individual. Im proud to work in a team of compassionate and diligent staff who support individuals who, when arriving at the clinic, may be physically and emotionally broken. It is so positive watching peoples wellbeing improve over a course of weeks and seeing them move forward with their lives.

lam well known for having a very needy codependent Staffie dog called Lemmy who often comes to work
with me and enjoys having his tummy rubbed by therapists and clients alike.
