Consultant Clinical Psychologist

As a Consultant Clinical Psychologist, I have extensive experience of assessing, diagnosing, and working (both within the National Health Service and independently) with adults, children, and families across the ability spectrum; specifically, those living with autism and/or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

I also have a keen interest in understanding the PDA profile and will be supporting a PhD studentship at King’s College, London working with Professor Francesca Happe, starting in September 2024.

Over the years I have worked with autistic children in a residential school setting, and with both adults and young people with co-morbid mental health difficulties, some who had a forensic history and/or were detained under the Mental Health Act.

I have written two books, A Guide to Mental Health Issues in Girls and Young Women on the Autism Spectrum: Diagnosis, Intervention and Family Support and Autism Missed and Misdiagnosed: Identifying, Understanding and Supporting Diverse Autistic Identities, both published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers.

On a personal level, I pursued a career in clinical psychology because of my own son, who was autistic and sadly passed away in 2019. I now continue this work to raise awareness of Autism and the diverse ways in which it can impact individuals.
