Clinical Supervision

My current role is in independent practice, where I offer neuroaffirming, trauma-informed occupational therapy. I work remotely with adults, adolescents, and parents, supporting mental health, autism, ADHD, sensory processing, identity, and sustainable engagement in everyday life. Alongside this, I deliver occupation-centred training and reflective practice for fellow occupational therapists, as well as facilitating away days and speaking at events for both small organisations and corporate teams.

My background in mental health spans community, outpatient, and inpatient services. I have worked with people experiencing a wide range of psychological distress, and my practice has always been grounded in occupational perspectives, with particular attention to meaning, routine, sensory modulation, identity, and the therapeutic use of self.

I have worked within autism diagnostic services and provide post-diagnostic support for autistic individuals and those with ADHD. Within this role I developed a strong occupational and sensory lens to assessment thinking, particularly around participation, regulation, and lived experience.

I have experience delivering interventions within CAMHS across both inpatient and outpatient pathways, supporting children and young people with diverse mental health presentations, including neurodevelopmental differences.

I have experience working with individuals with learning disabilities across both community and inpatient settings, often alongside co-occurring mental health needs. This work has involved supporting participation, regulation, and everyday functioning within complex systems, alongside multidisciplinary teams.

I have supported teams delivering interventions within eating disorder services, addiction services, and Psychiatric Intensive Care Units (PICU). I have also supervised occupational therapists working within these settings, where the clinical work is often complex, high-risk, and emotionally demanding.

I have managed OT teams and therapy departments within mental health hospitals and outpatient services. This has included experience in service development, audits, investigations, staff support, and navigating team dynamics within pressured systems.

I have held several senior leadership roles, including Hospital Director, Therapy Business Manager, and Clinical Services Director. These roles have given me in-depth experience of service governance, regulatory frameworks such as the CQC, and the realities of balancing clinical, organisational, and human needs..
