Clinical Psychologist

” I am a warm and approachable therapist, specialising in neurodiversity assessments and cognitive assessments.  I like to connect with people and to create a safe and supportive space where people feel heard and understood.  My goal is to make the assessment process as comfortable and stress-free as possible, helping those involved to gain valuable information about their unique strengths and challenges”.

I have worked in the NHS for 25 years and for a private assessment company for over a year. I am trained and experienced in conducting cognitive and adaptive functioning assessments, diagnosing Learning Disability (Intellectual Disability), Autistic Spectrum Conditions (ASC), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and assessing the neurodevelopmental presentation of Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD).  I have extensive experience of working with people who have experienced trauma and who have experience of the care system. Most of my NHS work has involved working with adults with learning disabilities, their families and those supporting them, working in multi-disciplinary teams. My work is rooted in collaboration, respect and creating environments where people can thrive.

I am delighted to be working with Shore Psychology.  I share their values and aims, particularly their commitment to making high quality assessments and support available to all.
