A person you
can get to know.

I’m Alex. I live in Anglesea with my wife and our two boys, and work one-to-one with young people and their families.

Grown through recommendations

One family
telling another.

Convi grew through families recommending me to other families. What they valued in our time together helped shape the work I do today.

They’ve described a calm, reassuring presence: someone who can have fun, be a positive role model and keep a longer view of their child’s development.

That is what I aim to bring to the relationship. Taking time to get to know a young person, being clear and consistent, and finding everyday opportunities for them to do more for themselves.

You’ll deal directly with me, from the first conversation through to the support itself.

Experience & continued learning

Practical experience.
A thoughtful approach.

My path has included the trades, mental health and disability support. Today, much of my work is with children and young teens on the autism spectrum.

I’m also studying psychology at university. I bring that interest in people and behaviour alongside the practical experience of working with families.

  1. A practical working background.

    The trades are part of my story. I value doing things properly, following through and finding a workable next step.

  2. Mental health & disability support.

    Experience supporting people with different needs, and learning the importance of pace, communication and a dependable relationship.

  3. Ongoing psychology study.

    Continuing to learn while working within my role as a support worker. I’m not practising as a psychologist; Convi’s service is support and mentoring.

Outside work

A dad. A music lover.
Part of life here.

Home is Anglesea with my wife and our two boys. I enjoy music, getting outdoors and a day at the football.

Those ordinary parts of life often give us something to talk about. A favourite band, a shared interest or a place someone enjoys can make getting to know each other feel more natural.

Music, the outdoors and time with family.

You don’t have to decide
from a website.

We can have a conversation about your young person and whether I might be the right person to work with them.
