Wherever you are on your adoption journey, its OK to have questions. As an experienced adopter I can talk you through the process, what’s going to happen next and what you can expect.

Adoption isn’t an easy journey and its easy to feel overwhelmed. Your friends and family can and will try to help, however they have probably not been through it themselves.

Drop me a note using the form below and I’ll arrange a time to have a chat with you.

As parents we just want what’s best for our children and our families. For most families they can go to their friends, families and colleagues to chat through whatever difficulties they are going through. For adoptive families it can be daunting. Not many people “get it”.

As an adoptee adopter I see both sides of the coin and will use my experience to help you and your family. Drop me a note using the form below and we’ll arrange for a chat to talk through how I can help.

Being adopted gives us our own set of challenges. I was one of six children, five of us are adopted. I’ve been through the trauma of tracing my birth family and eventually meeting them.

Coaching is very different from counselling! Counselling looks back at the past - coaching looks into the future. If you fancy a chat, get in touch!

There has been a lot written about tracing families. It can be a long difficult path that should not be undertaken lightly.

As someone who has seen both happy and difficult outcomes from family tracing, as well as having traced my own birth family, I am able to offer a programme of support throughout your journey. I can also guide you through the most effective ways of family tracing.

There are many reasons that a child might be adopted. Whatever the reason, it is never easy. Why your child was adopted doesn’t change the trauma that it leaves behind. If you would like to talk through it drop us a note and we’ll arrange a chat.

Whether you are a voluntary agency or a local authority I can help you with design and delivery of training courses, support for your teams and a range of other things. I have designed both preparation courses and post adoption workshops and would love to help you in your work. Get in contact and I’d be happy to discuss your needs.

Are you a social worker who needs to talk things through? I’m not your manager or your supervisor - I’m independent and offer a range of coaching programmes for both individuals and teams.

If you work in CYP MH and would like advice on working with adopted CYP I can help.
