Since 2003 I have worked with vulnerable children and adults. During which time I have worked in a Children's Centre in North London and within schools in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire.

I have been using Protective Behaviours since 2009. PBs instinctively and theoretically has been an amazing program and tool to support, change and empower.

I felt so passionate about it that when I managed a team of Family Support Workers I ensured that they used Protective Behaviours in their roles and through their supervision.

From Goldsmiths University I graduated with a Master degree in Anthropological Psychology.
