Lucy Patten
I have worked with vulnerable people for over 20 years, 18 of which have been as a qualified counsellor specialising in work with children and families.
I am a qualified and registered social worker with many years experience working with looked after children and foster carers. I have worked in children and families social work teams and have experience as a practice manager.
In addition to this statutory experience, I have worked in education supporting vulnerable children for many years too and understand the challenges of supporting children where their histories are complex.
I love working with children and their families, as well as carers and fostering and kinship families. I take care and pride in my work
