I am a highly specialist speech and language therapist. I am passionate about increasing understanding about different neurotypes and promoting neuroaffirmative practice.I have a wealth of experience working with children and adults with speech, language, communication, and mental health needs, in both independent practice and the NHS. I am skilled in completing assessments, providing therapeutic interventions, and delivering training.I have worked in a range of multi-disciplinary autism and ADHD diagnostic teams. I am experienced in working with people with complex presentations, such as cooccurring conditions (like AuDHD), early childhood trauma, selective mutism, and learning difficulties.I have extensive experience in ARFID (avoidant restrictive food intake disorder), including offering 1:1 support, running parent and carer groups and delivering training to professionals. I am keen to raise awareness about avoidant restrictive eating and increase access to appropriate support.I currently work within the NHS in a parent infant mental health service, lecture on ADHD and autism, as well as running my private practice as an autism and ADHD coach. I am also on the committee for a national CEN (clinical excellence network) in autism and neurodevelopmental conditions, and volunteer for a local SEND charity.
