Professional Experience
I am a highly Specialist Speech and Language Therapist, qualified since 2018, with specialist expertise in speech, communication, cognition, and complex developmental conditions including Cerebral Palsy and Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC). Over the past several years, I’ve worked across mainstream schools, specialist settings, and developmental clinics helping children and young people with a wide range of communication and learning needs reach their full potential.
I have a strong ability to analyse complex cases, produce clear and credible reports, communicating findings effectively to a range of professionals. My work involves not only therapy, but also assessment, training, and strategic input often for clients with multiple or overlapping diagnoses such as autism, cerebral palsy, learning disabilities, and sensory impairments.
Professional Development
I am committed to professional development and maintenance of HCPC standards by regularly attending training sessions, journal clubs, and staying updated with the latest research.
Medico Legal Experience
I accept instructions from both claimant and defendant solicitors and insurers. I have undergone formal training in the medico-legal process and am fully aware of my responsibilities under Civil Procedure Rules (CPR) pertaining to expert witnesses.
