My Story

For more than 25 years, I’ve dedicated my career to supporting those affected by honour-based abuse, domestic abuse, and trauma. My work spans frontline practice through to PhD research in domestic abuse risk assessment, developed with Merseyside Police. My commitment is also personal and my own experiences continue to drive my passion to help others survive and rebuild their lives.

I’ve been involved with Savera UK since the very beginning, and this March, with International Women’s Day and No More Week close to my heart, I’m taking on the Anfield abseil to raise vital funds, alongside my daughter.

I hate heights, but I couldn’t turn down the 50th-birthday challenge set by my mum and daughter. My first thought was “oh sh**…” — but my next was “I will do this.”

I’m determined to face the drop for a cause I deeply believe in, and I can’t think of a better place to do it than the home of my beloved Liverpool FC.
