A PERSONAL APPROACH

Every family is different.
Every connection matters.

Child Contact Link grew from seeing family members and others close to me go through the changes that can come with separation and child contact arrangements. I saw how difficult the process can be for everyone involved, and how important it is for children and parents to have safe, positive and meaningful time together.

Based in Brighton and Hove, I offer a personal, flexible alternative to a child contact centre. Spending several hours in the same room every week can feel repetitive for children, and contact can break down quickly when they lose interest or the arrangement isn't fully supported at home. By meeting in suitable public places, such as parks, the beach, cafes and local attractions, every session can feel fresh, so children have something to look forward to and are more likely to keep coming, week after week.

I provide independent supervised and supported contact, and I travel to suitable agreed locations, offering a calm, neutral and professional presence. Every arrangement is considered individually, and the focus is always on the child's safety, wellbeing and individual needs.

SUPPORT THAT FITS YOUR FAMILY

Time together,
with the right support.

Contact is tailored to your circumstances, any court order or professional guidance, and what is appropriate for your child.

01 / IN PERSON

Supervised contact

For families where there are safeguarding concerns or where closer oversight is needed. I stay within earshot throughout the whole session, closely observing and safeguarding your child at all times. A factual written report can be provided afterwards as an optional extra.

02 / IN PERSON

Supported contact

A more relaxed arrangement for families where no significant risk has been identified. I keep a watchful eye on the session without needing to be within earshot at every moment, creating a calm, positive setting and helping families build confidence and move forward. A factual written report can also be provided afterwards as an optional extra.

03 / ONLINE

Virtual contact

Connection across the distance. Supported video-call sessions for families who need more flexibility.

All referrals are considered individually, including suitability checks, insurance and case-specific requirements.
