Housing & Environmental

Our homes and workplaces can change and support us throughout our lifetimes. When an environment is thoughtfully designed it can promote independence, confidence, health and dignity. I support people to make the best decisions regarding their current and future housing needs whilst acknowledging the very real financial constraints that are part of the adaptation process. I work closely with people so that they are aware of the options that are available to them and ensure they make the most of what their environment can offer them in the short and long term.

 

I have worked in environmental design and adaptation for over two decades and have completed numerous training courses and complete continuous upskilling in the area of environmental design and housing adaptations. I have also worked in a variety of settings including: Private Clients, Local Authority, Voluntary Agencies, Educational and Business settings.
