Who we are
Meet the Nurture Works
Jenna Goodgame
My work focuses on the theme of attachment and belonging. I specialise in Trauma and Neuro-Divergence.
The core ethos that underpins what I do is that we all have the opportunity to foster change, for our lives to improve and gain happiness, no matter what our history and experience entails.
With nurture, empathy and a place to belong, we can achieve anything.

I aim to provide an empathetic, collaborative and non-judgemental space in which individuals/families can develop a shared understanding of their difficulties and build on their strengths to achieve their desired goals
