Meet the team

Claire

Hi, I’m Claire the Service manager for Smokefree Liverpool.  I have been part of the team since 2004, working in different areas including youth awareness, training, workplace, pharmacy and helping those wanting to quit smoking.

I am passionate about helping people to realise their potential and achieve their goals to quit smoking.  Never give up giving up!

In my spare time I enjoy camping, walking and spending time with my family.

Belinda

Hello, I’m Belinda, the Deputy Manager for Smokefree Liverpool and have been with the service since 2021. Before joining the service, I studied health psychology at university, so my interests are in various areas of health behaviour change, including smoking cessation. My role involves supporting clients virtually with their quit attempts.

I really enjoy the work that our service is able to provide, it can be challenging yet is incredibly rewarding helping people make a change in their life that helps improve their health and wellbeing and achieve their ultimate goal of becoming smoke free. 

Amy 

Hello, My name is Amy, I have been a Stop Smoking Advisor for Smokefree Liverpool for 15 years.  I have worked in a number of areas; community, workplace, young persons, LGBQT, housing associations and telephone support.

My passion is to help other people achieve their goal like I did to become smokefree. I want to help people become smokefree to help improve their health and also to save money.

Hilary 

I have worked in the Service for 18 years as a dedicated motivated Stop Smoking Advisor, supporting and encouraging people city wide to quit the cigarettes and vapes.

As I was a heavy smoker for over 30 years, I feel this has armed me to have a greater understanding and empathy for people wanting to quit.

We are here to support you!

Hi I’m Lorraine and I’ve been working for the Stop smoking service for over 16 years.

I love my job for several reasons, mainly to inspire people to make a change. I try to alleviate all your fears to help you achieve a smokefree life. I am an ex-smoker so understand that the journey can be daunting,  but together we can make it possible.

Natalie 

Hiya, my name is Natalie, call me Nat.  I’m proud to say I’ve worked in smoking cessation for over 22 years. I will be one of the first people you speak to if you phone our office to book an appointment.  I am passionate to help people start their stop smoking journey; I have been there myself so know what you’re going through.

Ginny

Hi, my name’s Ginny and I’ve been supporting people to quit smoking for over 20 years. I was a smoker myself for around 25 years so being an ex-smoker helps me to understand exactly what you are going through.

I will help to make your experience of quitting as smooth as possible for you by supporting you all the way, using nicotine replacement therapy and behavioural techniques.

The more effort you put into quitting, the more likely you are to succeed, so I always say, “I can’t do it for you, but I can certainly do it with you”.

Sharon

Hi, I’m Sharon and I am an ex-smoker.  I’ve been with the team for a couple of months and I’m really enjoying supporting other people who are on their quit journey.  The team give the best support to stop for good.

Quitting smoking is a powerful step towards a healthier life and I’m here to help you overcome challenges and celebrate your progress.
