My Background

​​​​

I am a Senior Specialist Clinical Psychologist, based within a neurodevelopmental NHS diagnostic and treatment service. Here, I diagnose and support young people with ADHD, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), Tic and Tourette's Disorder, as well as broader or related mental health needs, such as depression and anxiety. I also deliver staff and parent training as an accredited trainer, qualifying with the National Autism Programme. More generally, my clinical experience includes adult complex mental health services (trauma, anxiety, personality disorders), looked-after children services, physical health psychology, early intervention in psychosis, forensic services, eating disorders, and private supported living.

 

I also have over 17+ years' experience in education and tutoring and serve on the doctorate screening and interview panel for three major London universities.

​​​​​My Approach​

​

At Brighter Paths, I bring together my clinical and educational experience to offer a unique, evidence-based perspective that supports the whole person, recognising the complex interplay between emotional, developmental, and academic challenges.​​​ Whether you're looking for clinical insight, support with learning, or clarity through assessment, my goal is to create a space where you feel safe, supported, and empowered to move forward.
