About Me
I have extensive clinical experience managing complex neurological caseloads across a broad range of settings, including 24 years working in the NHS. My particular expertise lies in supporting adults with conditions arising from stroke, acquired brain injury, brain tumours, and dementia. I specialise in addressing speech disorders, aphasia, dysphagia (swallowing), reading and writing difficulties, cognitive communication disorders, psychological adjustment, functional neurological disorders, and conducting formal Mental Capacity Assessments, including for testamentary capacity and Lasting Power of Attorney. I regularly provide education and supervision to other professionals in these clinical areas.
After graduating in Leeds, I started my career in London before returning home to Devon. My career path included a valuable year working in New Zealand, providing unique insights into healthcare delivery outside the NHS. In 2022, I set up as an independent practitioner, bringing my neurological rehabilitation expertise directly to clients in the community.
Throughout my career, I have maintained a commitment to empowering adults to reach their full potential through personalised assessment and therapy.
When not working I love being outdoors running, walking, and cycling, especially across Dartmoor and along coastal paths. I enjoy cooking, travel, and exploring new places. Balancing an active lifestyle with a warm family life, including my husband, two children and a crazy spaniel.
