Meet the team

Claire

I’m 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.

Belinda

I'm 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.

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.

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

Jane 

I have been enjoying the role of a Stop Smoking Advisor for over twenty years. I have a Diploma in Smoking Cessation and I am NCSCT trained. I have worked in a variety of face to face settings in the community and also on telephone support.

Lizzie

I'm part of the admin team at Smokefree Liverpool. I've worked in smoking cessation for over 5 years and loved every minute. I am happy to help you get started on your stop smoking journey. I also look after our social media, keeping you all updated with the latest information and news.

Lorraine 

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 fears to help clients 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 

I’m proud to say I’ve worked in smoking cessation for over 22 years. I wam the first point of contact for someone calling the service to book an appointment.  I am passionate to help people start their stop smoking journey; I have been there myself so know what it's like.

Ginny

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 make the experience as smooth as possible by supporting clients all the way, using nicotine replacement therapy and behavioural techniques to help them achieve a quit.

Saama

As a stop smoking advisor, I am committed to providing you with personalised support and encouragement every step of the way. Quitting smoking is a powerful step towards a healthier life and I’m here to help you overcome challenges and celebrate your progress. Remember, just take it a day at a time and it’s okay if you have setbacks, what’s important is that you just keep on trying and don’t give up 

Kyriakos

I am a health psychology graduate, and I took on this role as a stop smoking advisor as I enjoy working with people and helping them achieve their goals. It's truly inspiring to see the change in people before and after quitting smoking. As one of my clients told me, "now that I have given up smoking, I feel like I can achieve anything"

Katherine

I love my role as an advisor every single day I get the opportunity to make a difference to people's lives, something I have always wanted to achieve. I love building relationships with my clients and it makes me so proud to see them conquer obstacles and improve their lives for the better. 

Golda

I joined Smokefree Liverpool in November 2024 as a Stop Smoking Advisor. Prior to this, I worked in both the NHS and private sectors for several years. I really enjoy working with a professional team and seeing the positive differences that are being made. I’m looking forward to being able to continue inspiring more people to live better and heathier lives that are free from cigarettes.
