I am an independent Occupational Therapist for children, adolescents/young adults and adults . I am passionate about supporting individuals to maximise their independence. I have 30years of experience working across NHS, voluntary, private and independent sectors, I have a range of specialist skills, knowledge and resources to draw on to help individuals of all ages and abilities to participate in activities that are important to them.

My private practice provides occupational therapy services to individuals and families mostly across Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire, Wiltshire, Buckinghamshire and along the M40 corridor from Birmingham to West London.
