I currently work as a paedatric occupational therapist, both self-employed and in my employed role, from September 2024 I will be the only occupational therapist in a SEN school.
I have worked with children at home and in schools, forming part of the MDT to deliver outcomes in the EHCP. I have worked in mental health rehabilitation hospital settings, adult acute hospital settings (NHS and private), child and adolescent mental health services and eating disorders. I have experienced placements in orthopedic, community, SEN schools and low and medium secure CAMHS units.
I work holistically, with a functional approach to recovery by empowering individuals to develop self-efficacy in their lives by teaching skills and encouraging them to develop tools to maintain their well-being and achieve outcomes that are meaningful to them.
I have experience as safeguarding lead, supervising staff and students, enabling them to develop their skills within their roles and enhancing their practice as professional clinicians. I have had managerial responsibilities, to ensure OT provision is met within services, promote patient engagement and support with therapy quality improvement plans and budgets.
I have developed my knowledge, experience and competencies through various training; Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Autism train the trainer for Children, ADOS 2 assessment and a Yoga as Therapy course to facilitate sessions promoting body awareness, confidence, balance, flexibility, regulating emotions and facilitating positive sensory experiences. I am now completing a postgraduate certificate in Sensory Integration with Sensory Integration Education and Sheffield Hallam University.
