Meet the Team

Gray - Stop Smoking Operational Lead

I’m Gray, I have been committed to helping people stop smoking since1999. I’m also dedicated to improving all aspects of our communities physical & mental wellbeing. I am proud to be part of a team that provides practical help & support to the local community.

Sandra - Stop Smoking Practitoner

I have worked as a Stop Smoking Practitioner since 2004, and it still fills me with pride knowing I am helping someone not only to stop smoking but empowering them. I love seeing their self esteem grow as they become proud of what they have achieved.

Lisa - Team lead & Stop smoking Practitoner

I’m from a nursing background and have worked for the NHS since 1989. I joined the Stop Smoking Service in 2007 as a Stop Smoking Practitioner. It can be satisfying when someone quits knowing you have helped empower them to do so and, in some cases, change their lives completely with the benefits of extra cash, or signposting them elsewhere to address factors that may have contributed to their smoking habits.

Danielle - Stop smoking Practitoner

I've been helping people to stop smoking since 2017. I have worked within the NHS for over 14 years now and have gained valuable experience working in local hospitals, Gp surgeries and communities. I have lots of job satisfaction as I know I am helping people become healthier and this can have a positive impact on how they feel in their day to day lives. I am proud to work for St Helens Wellbeing knowing we can offer support to people when they need it.

Sue - Stop Smoking Practitioner

I have worked with the St Helens Wellbeing team for 7 years and recently became a Smokefree Practitioner. I love talking to people and working out how best to help people quit smoking. I am as invested in my clients quit as much as they are and am amazed at the willpower that they show which often leads to them quitting.

Naz - Stop Smoking Practitioner

I have worked for St Helens Wellbeing Service for three years and have been a Smokefree Advisor for just over a year. As an ex-smoker myself, I understand the challenges people face when quitting and enjoy working with clients to find the support that works best for them. For some, that may be a quick telephone call, while others benefit from a face-to-face appointment.

I take pride in helping clients recognise how far they have come on their smokefree journey and reminding them that their success is a result of their own hard work and commitment. While I am there to provide guidance and support, they are the ones making the positive changes in their lives.

Linda -Stop Smoking Practitoner

I have worked in healthcare for as long as I can remember and gained amazing job satisfaction along the way.   I am extremely passionate about helping and supporting people to quit smoking to enable them to improve their health and wellbeing, which can often be beneficially lifechanging.  ( photo sent in email content)
