I qualified as an Occupational Therapist in 2015 and since then I have steadily career progressed through my experience in the NHS and private setting.
My core ethos embedded in this practice is to promote functional independence through specialised treatment programmes and bespoke advice.
I have a varied caseload of neurological conditions including but not limited to motor neuron disease, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, traumatic and acquired brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, cortical basal syndrome, stroke (all types), cerebellar ataxia, muscular dystrophy and Guillain-Barre Syndrome. I have extensive experience in upper limb management in relation to spasticity and splinting, cognitive-communicative deficits including standardised cognitive assessments, different methods of manual handling and equipment, and I have a level 4 qualification in Single Handed Care. My current role also facilitates my development in leadership skills.
Due to my experience, I work with cases requiring cognitive rehabilitation, manual handling, spinal injuries, specialist equipment, home adaptation, long-term condition management, postural management, palliative care and fatigue management.
I accept instructions from both claimant and defendant solicitors and insurers. I have undergone formal training in the medico-legal process and am fully aware of my responsibilities under Civil Procedure Rules (CPR) pertaining to expert witnesses.
I support Headway West London on an ad hoc basic facilitating their group therapy for people living with brain injuries.
