About me
I am a Consultant Clinical Psychologist and Child Neuropsychologist specialising in working with children and young people with learning and neurodevelopmental needs.
I gained a research PhD at the University of Cambridge in 2005, investigating attention abilities in children with and without autism spectrum disorders. I then went on to complete my clinical psychology doctoral training at the Institute of Psychiatry and subsequently undertook further specialist training in Paediatric Neuropsychology.
Since 2009 I have worked at the Neurodisability Service at Great Ormond Street Hospital and was appointed to Consultant grade in 2019. Throughout this time I have gained extensive experience in completing neurodevelopmental and cognitive assessments of children and young people with complex presentations
In my private work, I support children, adolescents and families in the London and Essex areas and offer a combination of online and face to face assessments.
