Work experience 

I worked for Carter Brown Contact as a team leader. The Contact Centre is for families in dispute. The service provides supervised contact in a safe and secure Teen or Child environment. Some of the reasons children would have contact at the centre would be: allegations of domestic violence, allegations of abuse against a child, concerns about the emotional impact of contact on the child, when it was necessary and beneficial to the non resident parent to have the support of a supervisor during contact.

Since 2005 I have worked in many areas of Mental Health in the community and in Secure Units for women. My main role was working with paranoid schizophrenics and borderline personality disorders, many dual diagnosed. Most of these women suffered with depression and suicidal thoughts and self harming actions. Many of the women I supported had been the victims of child abuse, domestic violence and/or mental cruelty,  

My recent work involves adult and children survivors of child abuse, domestic violence and mental torment from abusers, abandonment issues and depression. Unsettled children struggling with life in Spain, I provide a safe, secure environment that is confidential for any one wishing to discuss any problems or issues they may have.
