My Clinical Practice
I am a Specialist Nurse with significant experience working with children, young people, and families in the NHS Child & Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS). My expertise includes supporting children, young people and families across a range of emotional, behavioural and neurodevelopmental needs.
I am a Non-Medical Prescriber and deliver nurse-led clinics supporting safe, structured initiation and optimisation of medication for ADHD in line with best practice guidelines and individual clinical needs. In addition, I have expertise in providing gold standard neurodevelopment assessments for children and young people.
My Therapeutic Approach
Alongside assessment and medication management, I am committed to providing compassionate, client-centred care, ensuring that children, young people, and families feel heard, informed, and supported throughout their journey. My clinical practice is grounded in a neuro-affirming, evidence-based approach, with a strong emphasis on understanding an individual’s needs, strengths and lived experience.
