"​I'm an Occupational Therapist with over 25 years of experience in supporting families. I am absolutely passionate about the role of relationships, internal motivation, communication and connection in play and occupational therapy. I am trained in DIR Floortime® therapy and use sensory integration in my practice. 

​

I use a strengths based approach when working with children and families, working in a child led and respectful way, while also being clear about the needs and challenges faced.

​

My previous roles have been in a range of mainly community and school settings and have included working as the clinical lead OT for Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) and most recently, working in an neurodevelopmental team.

​

I’m a parent of two sons, and carer of my youngest son who has complex medical needs, is multiply neurodivergent and is deaf. I have previously been a special school governor, and have lots of experience of the special school system."
