My background is in community health and I have always been passionate about helping people to improve their lifestyle. Our team consists of very experienced specialists and includes Tobacco Control Practitioners for ‘prevention’ & Stop Smoking Practitioners, who are all working towards a tobacco-free future of our young people and to support  smokers on their journey to be smokefree.  We are part of the wider St Helens Wellbeing Team, so we offer a holistic package of care that includes access to our other Wellbeing services

Lisa - Stop smoking Practitoner

I’ve been helping people to stop smoking for 16 years now . I’m from a nursing background with 34 years experience working for the NHS.  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.

‘I’m Danielle, and I’ve been working in and around Stop Smoking Services for the past 17 years.  I took a break to have my children but have now returned joining St.Helens Smokefree as A Stop Smoking Advisor.  I love to help people and see them achieve what they might have considered the impossible , in quitting smoking.

Knowing how hard it can be to be quit without the right help makes me want to support to people achieve their goal and focus on their own journey’.
