J lives with Dissociative Identity Disorder (Formerly known as Multiple Personality Disorder) and is in recovery from an Eating Disorder.

It would be advantageous to have experience of working with and/or supporting people with complex trauma, dissociation, self-harm, eating disorders, sensory difficulties, and attachment issues.

J is very anxious about new situations and what to expect, her past experiences mean that she/other personalities don't always respond in a way that others would expect.

J will also need support with developing new routines, managing medication, sorting finances, paying bills, and attending appointments.
