I am an experienced practitioner with many years expertise in assessment and care planning for individuals with complex needs, including autism, brain and spinal injury, learning disabilities and mental health. My background as a clinical lead nurse has involved many holistic assessments across community and home settings. My practise is grounded in understanding the whole person and recognising how neurodevelopmental differences, physical health and life experiences impact day to day functioning. My approach is calm, compassionate and highly person centred. I understand that assessments can feel daunting, so I focus on creating a safe, supportive space where individuals and families feel heard, understood and respected. I am particularly skilled at working with people who feel anxious, overwhelmed or unsure about the assessment process. I always work with professionalism ,warmth and a genuine commitment to improving outcomes for the people that I meet.
