I'm a Consultant Speech and Language Therapist and specialist neurodevelopmental assessor based in Manchester, with more than ten years of experience in autism and ADHD assessment across the whole lifespan, from preschool children to adults.

​

My particular interest is in people whose profiles have been missed, masked or misunderstood: adults identified later in life, people who have spent years compensating, and presentations where autism, ADHD and other conditions overlap. I work across NHS, Right to Choose and independent settings, and I care deeply about assessments that are rigorous, kind and genuinely useful to the person at the end of them.

​

I'm also a clinician with ADHD. That lived experience shapes how I assess, how I give feedback, how I train others and how I design services. I make these resources because everyone deserves explanations that make sense, in words that celebrate who they are rather than leaving them feeling broken.
