About
I am an HCPC-registered Occupational Therapist providing home-based assessments and rehabilitation for adults across Dumfries & Galloway and surrounding areas.
I specialise in supporting adults with neurological conditions, stroke, fatigue and other long-term health conditions to maximise their independence, safety and quality of life. My approach is person-centred, working closely with clients and their families to identify meaningful goals and develop practical strategies that enable participation in everyday activities.
Services include functional assessments, rehabilitation programmes, fatigue management, moving and handling assessments, equipment and home adaptation recommendations, falls prevention and post-hospital rehabilitation. I aim to provide tailored support that helps people regain confidence, improve function and remain as independent as possible within their own home.
Based: Dalbeattie.
Covering: Dumfries & Galloway and surrounding areas (home visits available).
