I have worked as a Brain Injury Case Manager since 2000 when I joined the Priory Health Care group.  In 2003, I returned home to Wales to set up the first registered Brain Injury Case Management company in Wales.

I have over 20 years’ experience of working with a wide range of adults, young people and children with complex cognitive, physical, polytrauma, and behavioural difficulties as a result of acquired and traumatic brain injuries; as well as their families.  I am also experienced in working with children and young people with acquired brain injuries from birth. 

I am known as a proactive Case Manager who is focused on maximising each client’s independence, and in reaching their individual potential.  I am professionally recognised and regarded as a highly empathic professional who takes the time to listen to the needs

of each client and their family.  I communicate effectively with all parties involved.

I am recognised as working to high standards in demanding situations, and to deadlines. I have excellent communication and interpersonal skills. 

I have wide and proven experience in working with solicitors, barristers and insurers on both sole and joint instruction.

I was a founder member of Headway Carmarthenshire and am currently an active Executive Committee member. 

I was also instrumental in developing links with the Brain Injury Research Trust, and their subsequent development of services in Wales. 

I am a Fellow of the Institute of Welfare, Director and Vice Chair. 

I am a practising Case Manager affiliated to the British Association of Brain Injury Case Managers.
