About Me

Following my own personal journey into recovery, I found a passion for helping others to do the same. I began working as a volunteer for community drug and alcohol services where I quickly recognised that addiction treatment is where I would like to dedicate my efforts and turn my passion and motivation to help others into a professional capability and career.

Favourite thing about working at Acquiesce

To watch and support an individual go from the lost, lonely and fearful place of addiction into a journey of recovery with a new and regained sense of hope, self-worth and direction is so rewarding and an honour and privilege to be a part of.

I truly believe that provided with the right environment and the correct therapeutic support and guidance that any individual can move from the darkness of addiction into the light of recovery and live and enjoy life to their full potential
