Rite to Freedom Trustee
I am passionate about embracing a more creative and inclusive way of approaching any difficult emotional issues, particularly in order to to support those who will benefit from a sense of community and belonging where they may previously felt that they struggled to fit in. I have a unique 360 degree view on many aspects of addiction, of the human condition and of how to work with people who are seeking some kind of support and sense of belonging.
My life and work path is rich and diverse, incorporating NHS addiction services, prison work and mot recently (since becoming self employed in 2016), more holistic health approaches. My life and experience offers a unique combination for me to offer support to Rite to Freedom. In return I feel that the trustee role enables me to focus upon issues about which I feel committed and passionate. I have lived experience of a partner with addiction and everything that this encompasses. The opportunity to be involved with Rite to Freedom gifts me some purpose to my own journey and offers myself and others a positive focus in terms of a unique and effective approach to supporting those in recovery as well as their family and friends.
My strengths are communication, creativity, compassion and an ability to think outside of the box.
