What support do I offer?

I’m based in Alnwick, Northumberland, but I keep my working life focused in Newcastle. I really enjoy driving, and I see Newcastle as my natural working area. I already support people in Newcastle and am committed to travelling for my role — so distance is never a barrier.

I have experience with different needs including:

• Mental Health (Schizophrenia, Anxiety, PTSD, Depression, Bipolar Disorder)
• Aspergers Syndrome / Autism
• Sight Impairment
• Downs Syndrome
• ADHD

My support has mainly been with adults, however I do also have experience working with children, having supported my best friends child who has ADHD and was a huge rolemodel to him as he was growing up.

The support I offer is tailored to you, I am very flexible, friendly, easy going  and very much work in a Person Centred way. A few examples of support I offer are:

• Improving Mental wellbeing (talking through problems, supporting to activities of interest etc..)
• Support with Shopping, Medication collection and Appointments
• Promoting and supporting with Independence (Supporting you to take care of yourself to live independently)
• Supporting out on activities of your choice.

I will also work closely with family members to help you achieve what you want to achieve.

I work in a confidential way, nothing will be shared with anyone else unless you were to ask me to.  (The only reason I would have to share any confidential information is if something was shared with me that is of risk to yourself of others. However this would be discussed with you first if I felt this needed to be done)
