I work with adults (aged 18 and over) following acquired brain injury, stroke, neurological illness and FND.

I can offer community/home visits for clients in Essex, North Kent and some parts of London. I can also offer appointments at clinics in Marylebone or the City of London.

I charge £190/hour for all neuropsychology/neurorehabilitation work. This includes any face-to-face work with clients and families, as well as indirect work (meeting attendance, report writing etc). Community work will incur a travel charge. I will confirm exact fees before I start work on a case.

Reports and communication

I provide written reports following assessment and prepare interim and discharge reports as required by the case. When working as part of a multidisciplinary team, I will work closely with other professionals, communicating regularly and offering feedback and support to help the rehabilitation process to remain psychologically informed.

Medicolegal/expert witness work

I do not currently provide expert witness reports or medicolegal assessments. I do regularly work as the treating psychologist for clients whose cases are ongoing, and I understand the need for clear records and good communication with the wider team.

Neuropsychology & Neurorehabilitation

I work with people following acquired brain injury, neurological illness and other complex neurological presentations, across assessment, therapy and rehabilitation.

Neurological conditions rarely affect one part of life in isolation. Changes in thinking, memory, behaviour, mood and physical functioning can overlap in ways that are difficult to untangle. My role is often to help make sense of that bigger picture, working with the individual, their family and the wider rehabilitation team.

Who I work with

I work with adults following acquired or traumatic brain injury, stroke and neurological illness, as well as people living with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND).

Some people are referred because of changes in memory, attention or executive functioning. For others, the main difficulties may involve behaviour, emotional adjustment, fatigue, relationships or adapting to changes in independence and everyday life.

Often, several of these things are happening at once.

My work may involve the individual directly, their family, the wider rehabilitation team, or a combination of these.

Bringing the pieces together

Neurological injury or illness can create changes across many different areas of life at the same time.

Someone may be dealing with cognitive changes alongside physical symptoms, altered roles, loss of independence, emotional adjustment or changes in how they relate to other people. These difficulties do not always make sense when considered separately.

Rather than focusing only on a diagnosis or test result, I am interested in how cognitive, emotional, behavioural, physical and environmental factors are interacting in everyday life, and what that means for rehabilitation.

How I can help

Assessment and Formulation

Neuropsychological assessment can help build a clearer picture of cognitive strengths and difficulties and how these are affecting everyday functioning.

Where formal assessment is helpful, I combine test findings with clinical history, observation and information from the wider rehabilitation context to develop a practical understanding of what may be happening and what might help.

Rehabilitation

I provide psychological and cognitive rehabilitation following neurological illness or injury.

This may involve developing strategies for cognitive difficulties, adjusting to changes in functioning, understanding emotional or behavioural changes, or finding ways to rebuild confidence and independence in everyday life.

Families

Neurological change affects families as well as individuals.

I can help relatives understand cognitive, behavioural or emotional changes, adapt to altered roles and relationships, and think about how best to support rehabilitation without losing sight of their own needs.

MDT consultation

I work with multidisciplinary teams to help develop shared formulations and think through complex or stuck rehabilitation cases.

This might involve understanding barriers to progress, considering psychological or cognitive factors affecting engagement, or helping the team develop a more joined-up rehabilitation plan.

Multidisciplinary rehabilitation

Good rehabilitation often depends on different professionals bringing different parts of the picture.

I have extensive experience working alongside case managers, rehabilitation consultants, neurologists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech and language therapists, nurses and support workers.

I do not see psychology as sitting separately from the rest of rehabilitation. My role is to bring a psychological and neuropsychological perspective alongside the expertise already within the team.

Working with me

Discuss a referral

If you are a case manager, rehabilitation professional or other referrer and would like to discuss whether I could contribute to a rehabilitation case, please get in touch.

You do not need to know exactly what kind of psychological input is required before contacting me. I am happy to have an initial conversation about the case, what is already in place, and whether my involvement would add something useful.
