As I am hoping to raise my profile for work as an Independent Advocate, I would be interested to hear from those service users who have had experience of such a service (e.g. IMCA, IMHA) and what it was like. Did you benefit, what worked, what would you like to have been different?
My specialism seems to be the combination of deep person-centred work such as the Hearing Voices Network offer and a professional profile, that is recognised by authorities.
​

Apart from Locum work, I am also  available as advocate, expert witness and independent assessor for patients and carers and I can offer short-focussed therapy facilitating self-management. My fees are graded, depending on level of need and affordability - starting from free for emergency action.
​I look forward to hearing from all interested to discuss how I can help. This service is also offered to Solicitors for their clients.

Recently, a Judge in a Court Heairng around a Whistleblowing matter, complimented me on my professional skill and conscience, using those words among others. However, after 5 years of related work, I am looking forwrd to returning to the coalface of working with social work clients. I love the variety the situation as a Locum offers me - and I get to see different parts of the country. Never boring!
