I am an independent Occupational Therapist and the founder of Neurosense, a company specializing in screening and supporting individuals with ADHD, Autism, and Sensory Processing differences. Additionally, I collaborate with several OT agencies across Scotland as an Associate and Case Manager, where I provide mental health interventions, functional assessments, equipment prescriptions, minor home adaptations, vocational rehabilitation and sensory integration-informed treatment.
My background includes work in both the private sector and the NHS, where I've dealt with a diverse range of patients in inpatient and community settings. I am proficient in using specialized OT assessment tools like MOHO, SPM-2, AASH, and COPM. I also hold certifications in the ADOS II, ADI-R, ACIA, and DIVA-V assessments for ADHD and Autism for adults.
