Manager Young Parents Development

For over 20 years, I have had the privilege of working alongside young parents and the communities that support them. With a background in psychology and over 20 years of social work experience, I have seen how safe, supportive relationships can change lives. I believe every young parent deserves the opportunity to build a strong, secure relationship with their baby, creating the foundations for lifelong wellbeing.

My passion for this work has grown through both professional practice and personal connections within the young parent community. The young parents I have met have continually shown me courage, resilience, and a deep commitment to giving their children the best possible start in life. Their experiences continue to shape both my practice and the way our service grows and evolves.

I am proud to work alongside a team who believe in the potential of every young parent. Together, we create welcoming spaces where young parents feel respected, connected, and supported. By building trusting relationships, reducing barriers, and strengthening community connections, we work alongside families as they navigate the joys and challenges of parenting.

Our approach is grounded in respect, curiosity, and compassion. We recognise the strengths that young parents already bring, and we partner with them to build confidence, strengthen relationships, and create opportunities for both parents and their children to thrive.
