I am a highly experienced and compassionate paediatric occupational therapist with over 12 years of NHS and community-based practice, specialising in supporting children and families with complex needs. My clinical expertise spans sensory integration, postural care, and specialist equipment provision, with a strong track record of delivering impactful interventions across early years, school-aged, and multidisciplinary settings.

As a former Deputy Team Lead, I have led service redesigns, championed safe and efficient equipment pathways, and collaborated with senior stakeholders to ensure high standards of care and clear communication across systems. I bring a proactive, solutions-focused approach to my work, underpinned by a deep belief that every child deserves the opportunity to thrive.
