I am a Highly Specialist Speech and Language Therapist and have specialised working with children and young people with Autism and language disorders. I have thirteen years’ experience working within both the NHS, independent schools and private practice. I am experienced in completing neurodevelopmental assessments and therapeutic support for young people and their families. I am Health and Care Professions Council registered and a member of the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists. I am passionate about supporting children and young people to access neurodevelopmental assessments as I understand the validation and relief a diagnosis can bring. This is an area that is very close to my heart as I personally understand the benefits a diagnosis can bring to a family. For my own mental wellbeing I enjoy spending time walking my dogs in the Surrey countryside as well as attending art classes.

I am a Clinical Specialist Nurse with 20 years of experience working within the NHS across adult, children’s, mental health, and forensic services. I have specialised in working with children and young people with Autism and ADHD, and I am a qualified Non-Medical Prescriber. I am accredited by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC). I am deeply passionate about supporting children and young people with neurodiversity to access thoughtful and comprehensive assessments. Challenges across multiple settings highlight the importance of timely and holistic support and treatment strategies for young people and their families. I am committed to empowering young people and their families to reach their full potential—whether at home, in education, or within the workplace—so that they can truly thrive. Neurodiversity is an area I care deeply about, having seen first-hand the positive impact a diagnosis can have on a child’s self-esteem and understanding of their identity. For my own mental well-being, I enjoy exploring various walking routes around the Surrey countryside and beyond. I also enjoy kayaking, drawing, cooking, and reading whenever I have spare time.

As a busy working mother of 2 young boys, one of the most important things I do every day to maintain my own emotional wellbeing is to get out for a run in the fresh air or take my dog for a walk. It has become an essential part of my self-care. I would also be lost without my trusty notepad, pen and paper and my list of "to do’s” to keep track of my day.
