What Clients Say

We were in need of an Independent Social Worker to support family time with our granddaughter in our own home. We were lucky enough to be referred to Bridgette who supported our family time for almost three months on a weekly basis.

Bridgette made a very difficult time much easier, she was very responsive and was able to accommodate our needs very quickly. Communication was clear and concise, using language that was easy to understand. She demonstrated a high degree of professionalism without alienating us with “Social Worker” speak. Bridgette was kind and considerate and offered patient guidance to allow our family time to be stress free and a really happy occasion. She seamlessly fitted into the family, without being intrusive. Given the stress we had experienced over the past year and half Bridgette was an important figure in supporting us to strengthen family bonds and building confidence. We are thankful for her support, kindness and understanding. We would have no hesitation in recommending her.

My son was 7 years old and was going through a tricky behavioural time at school. I engaged the services of Bridgette Cussens who helped me navigate this period. She explained how boundaries and routine were paramount and stressed it was important that we all as in myself, my partner and teachers responded to my son’s behaviour in the same way and to focus on praising and rewarding the positive behaviour rather than at time focussing on the negative. With Bridgette’s constant communication, support and encouragement in time my son’s behaviour improved significantly and clearer boundaries and routines were established. Thank you Bridgette for helping through this period.

Have known Bridgette for a number of years, both professionally and personally, and have always found her to be an open, honest, and highly committed individual. She demonstrates a genuine passion for making a positive difference in the lives of children and young people and consistently goes above and beyond to ensure their voices are heard and their needs are met.

Bridgette possesses excellent interpersonal skills and would make an outstanding advocate for young people. She has the patience and empathy required to build trusting relationships, recognising that some children may take time to open up.

I have no hesitation in recommending Bridgette for any role involving the care, support and advocacy of children and young people
