The family is one of nature's masterpieces.

Nexus Family Connect was created because families deserve better during some of the hardest moments of their lives.

As a social worker, I have spent many years working alongside children and parents where relationships have broken down, trust has been damaged, and contact arrangements are often filled with anxiety, fear, and uncertainty. Too often, I saw contact taking place in environments that felt cold, rushed, or purely procedural — places that kept people safe, but didn’t always help them feel supported.

I knew there had to be another way.

Nexus Family Connect was set up to offer a calm, respectful, child-focused space, where safety and compassion exist side by side. A place where children can feel secure, parents can feel treated with dignity, and professionals can feel confident that safeguarding is taken seriously.

At its heart, Nexus is about connection — not just contact. It’s about recognising that behind every referral is a child with feelings, a family with a history, and a situation that deserves careful, thoughtful handling.

About Me

I am a qualified and experienced Independent Social Worker, with a professional background in safeguarding, care proceedings, and family court work. Throughout my career, I have worked with children and families facing a wide range of challenges, including mental health difficulties, substance misuse, domestic abuse, and long-standing involvement with services.

My practice has always been guided by one core belief: families engage best when they feel respected, understood, and listened to.

I value clear boundaries, honest communication, and evidence-based practice — but I also believe that warmth, patience, and humanity matter just as much. Children and parents are not “cases”; they are people, often navigating incredibly complex and emotional situations.

Nexus Family Connect brings together my professional experience and my personal commitment to doing this work thoughtfully, ethically, and with care.
