About me

Having previously worked in NHS learning disability services in London and the South East for over 14 years, I now work solely in independent practice. I have experience and expertise in the provision of assessment and therapeutic interventions to neurodivergent people and their families and have provided consultation and training to staff teams, services and organisations within and outside of the NHS. I have extensive experience conducting diagnostic assessments as part of multidisciplinary specialist teams and have undergone training and accreditation in a number of autism and ADHD diagnostic assessment tools. I also provide teaching and other input to the Clinical Psychology Doctoral Training Course at the University of Southampton.
