I am a consultant occupational therapist, researcher, publisher, and educator. I have twenty-one years of experience assessing and treating clients across the NHS, Social Services, and Private Sector companies.

My knowledge and skills were developed in NHS trauma and orthopaedics, community rehabilitation, rapid response, falls, palliative and end-of-life care. Social Services housing, aids and adaptations, and Private Sector case management and head injuries.

After completing my PhD by publication, I conceptualised and launched my independent practice to provide care and education for people with motor neurone disease(MND). Independent practice has offered me various opportunities to work as an associate occupational therapist, educator, and expert witness.  In 2023, I published a book chapter exploring my research journey, published papers, and developed a person-centred care model in MND. This person-centred care model focuses on individuality, which includes three significant elements: 1.presuppositions, 2. acceptance, and 3. temporality.

I prepare Civil Procedure Compliant Occupational Therapy and Care Reports for the Court covering various complex injuries. My areas of speciality are progressive neurological conditions, neurological rehabilitation, orthopaedic injury, and palliative and end-of-life care.

As an Independent Expert Witness, I aim to interpret the impact of the negligence that has occurred. I use my knowledge and skills to learn about a person in their world, their losses and potential for future rehabilitation. I make the necessary recommendations to enable a person to live life as they did before the index incident.
