I qualified as a social worker in 1993 and have spent over 25 years dedicated to families and children’s services. Throughout my career, I have met many families during difficult times, managing complex cases such as intra-famail sexual abuse and coercive control with sensitivity and expertise. I have provided detailed reports to courts, child protection case conferences, and various affiliated organizations, ensuring that the needs and voices of children and families are represented accurately and compassionately.

I have assessed, managed, and completed safety plans with families who have experienced sexual harm by a family member, both online and offline. This can be devastating for families. At Family Matters, we understand that not all families or circumstances are the same. The voice and safety of the child are paramount. We ensure the safety and well-being of the child by empowering protective parents, creating an extended safety plan with friends and family-specific safety measures 2, and ensuring the Voice of your Child is heard. We recognize that a child, with help, support, and understanding, is best placed with family when working collaboratively.

Having witnessed the difficulties and trauma these processes and family life can cause, I am deeply committed to supporting families through challenging situations and promoting their well-being and safety. My work is guided by empathy, professionalism, and a steadfast dedication to positively impacting the lives of the families I serve. Contact us now to learn how to work together for better outcomes.
