Newcastle Stop Smoking + Service - In partnership with the NHS

Hi, I’m Amelie. As a Stop Smoking Advisor, I’m passionate about helping people make positive changes that improve their health, wellbeing, and overall quality of life. I believe that everyone deserves support and encouragement. Connecting with people from all walks of life and seeing individuals overcome challenges and take steps towards a healthier future is one of the most rewarding parts of my role. Outside of work, I enjoy reading, travelling (especially to somewhere warm) and trying out new restaurants. 

Hi, I’m Bea, the Marketing and Communications Apprentice. I am growing and learning how to promote the service to lots of different people who want to stop smoking and learn more about their health. I love being able to reach out to people and hear people’s stories. In my spare time I enjoy vertical pole fitness and dance, and I take care of loads of plants! I also love to walk my dog - a yellow Labrador called Daisy.

Hi, my name is Eleni and I am a Specialist Stop Smoking Advisor. I really enjoy my role helping people to make their lifestyles healthier and supporting them to change behaviours they no longer want. I especially love working out in the community. In my free time I am kept busy with family and my two dogs, who I am always out and about with and I also enjoy spending time running to keep my mind and body healthy.

Hi, I’m Emma, a Specialist Stop Smoking Advisor. I love my job and the team, and it’s my 21st year with the service. I co-facilitate training and mentoring of the Newcastle Pharmacy staff along with supporting clients through the programme. I enjoy a sense of job satisfaction when I support someone in their health and wellbeing journey. I like being outdoors with my family, (but I must have a coffee stop along the way), sunny beach holidays and eating out with friends.
 

Hello, I'm Grace. I recently joined the team as a Stop Smoking Advisor. I’m passionate about empowering people to become the best version of themselves, and health and wellbeing play a key role in that journey. I believe it’s never too late to change unhealthy habits—everything starts with the desire to stop. In my spare time, I love spending time with friends and family, taking long nature walks, and roller skating.

Hello, I’m Josie. I’ve just joined the team as a Stop Smoking Advisor and I’m here to support you in becoming smoke-free! I enjoy working directly with service users and find it rewarding to be a part of someone’s journey to better their health and wellbeing. Outside of work, I enjoy creative hobbies such as sewing and painting. I also enjoy reading (mostly fictions) books, exploring nature and playing badminton and table tennis.

Hi, I’m Kay, the Senior Administrator for the service. I will usually be the first person to answer your telephone calls to refer you onto the service or answer any questions you may have. I’m passionate about making a difference and being part of something that gives people the tools to improve their health and wellbeing. In my spare time I enjoy arts and crafts such as painting and cross stitch, online and tabletop gaming and spending time with my loved ones. 

I’m Simon, the service's Project Manager. Your health and wellbeing is important, and that is why we are here. Quitting is never easy, but with the right support and prescription we can help to make it easier. When not at work, I like to walk in the woods and take in natures offerings. For me, there is something special in these spaces that lifts my spirits and connects me with a deeper sense of meaning. 

Hi, I am Sylwia, and I hold a master's degree in Health Psychology from Northumbria University. As a Stop Smoking Advisor, I am passionate about empowering people to make positive changes. Outside of work I enjoy travelling, yoga, reading, and baking.
