Hi, I'm Linda, the  Lead Practitioner at ParentSpace.
I'm so excited to be part of the team.
I have been made to feel so welcome and valued since I joined in September 2023.
I began as a volunteer at ParentSpace in a student counsellor role.  
I am a parent of now grown-up sons and I am a grandparent too.  I know the challenges of family life can be difficult at times, and I believe connectedness, support and understanding help us to feel less alone, and to navigate this life. I hope my experience will support and contribute to the amazing work everyone at ParentSpace is doing.
My background is in working with children, and in mental health. I enjoy walking my dogs around the beautiful area where I live, gardening and swimming in the sea.
