"Will my child be safe with you?"

I am a mother and innately know not only how precious each child is, but also how important it is to create safe, nurturing and caring relationships for a child. I value, respect and deeply hold the desire to help those who sometimes can do so little to help themselves, but can also hold so much potential for change.

"How do I make an appointment?"

For adults, please contact me in the first instance and we can arrange a mutually suitable appointment time.
