About me
I am a practising Paediatrician with 15 years’ experience of working with children, young people, and their families. In my NHS practice I specialise in diagnosis and management of neurodevelopmental disorders such as ADHD, Autism, Asperger’s syndrome, sleep difficulties, emotional and behavioural difficulties and more. I carry out medical examinations for children going into foster care and adoption as well as developmental assessments and child protection medicals. My experience ranges from newborn intensive care to management of acute and chronic childhood illness to teenagers with behavioural and mental health problems. I hold degrees in Medicine and Psychology, and I am a member of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health.
Coaching & Leadership
I work as a coach pursuing accreditation as an Associate Certified Coach with the International Coaching Federation. I have 8 years’ experience in charity leadership leading teams and developing multiplying volunteer programmes. I have employed a coach approach in my leadership roles working with those in healthcare and in third sector leadership.
​
Personal & Family
I have been married for 17 years and have 4 children of my own. My passion is walking alongside and supporting parents, children, and young people in a holistic fashion. I have spent significant amounts of time walking alongside families to help understand diagnoses and devise management plans to help address the complexities of diagnoses as well as family life.
