About me
I am a Speech and Language Therapist with over 15 years’ clinical experience, working across the NHS and independent sectors. I run my own independent practice alongside my role with Discover Difference, and held a range of clinical and leadership positions during my 10+ years of service in the NHS. In my clinical work, I support both neurodivergent and neurotypical children through therapeutic input and I have worked in specialist autism therapy teams as well as within NHS autism diagnostic teams in the NHS. I take a neuroaffirmative approach to practice and value collaborative, strengths based work with children and families. I am a member of the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists and I am committed to ongoing professional development.
