Lisa Aldous

My name is Lisa Aldous, and I have worked in public services for over 25 years. It has been a privilege to support hundreds of families during this time. What I’ve enjoyed most is witnessing families grow and seeing parents and carers develop confidence in their parenting. I began my career in 1999 as an outreach worker in a community drug service. Since then, I’ve explored a range of roles, including youth work, targeted support work, and working as a Families Matter practitioner. I’ve worked across Sutton, Surrey, and West Sussex, and these diverse experiences have shaped my practice. My approach to therapeutic support is client-led and collaborative. As a parent myself, I understand the challenges parenting can bring. But together, we can continue learning, adapt to change, and build stronger skills to support our families.
