I have extensive experience of teaching and training at Master’s level (Social Work and Mental Health, Applied Social Science, Lancaster University) through to teaching Health and Social Care professionals including Social Workers, Midwives, Health Visitors and Adult Mental Health Practitioners and their respective Managers.

I have delivered specialist training to Children’s Services, Community Mental Health Services, CAMHS, Fostering Services, Adoption Services and Schools. I have also delivered specialist training on ‘Nurturing Attachments’ to foster carers and adopters across the UK.

I am able to tailor individual training packages to meet the needs of different organizations. My training is professional, engaging and interactive with opportunity to learn new skills that can be easily used in your professional practice.
