About Me

My mission has always been to support my clients, to obtain positive results and lasting change. I have helped develop nursing care teams to the highest standard to help both NHS/private team deliver specialised, complexed, evidenced based care for vulnerable adults and children with learning disabilities and mental health problems. 

In my extensive almost 50 years career I have enhanced and developed the care teams using my skills and experience in:

- Staff training

- Research/audit

- Clinical specialism in learning disability/mental health

- NLP Practitioner/Life/Academic Coach/Time Line Therapy

- Staff supervision and clinical leadership

I am an experienced and professional nurse, trained in learning disability nursing (RNLD). I also specialise in sleep treatments using the Insomnia Management Programme following training at Loughborough University, National Sleep Research Centre. 

With over 40+ years experience in NHS inpatient and community services around sleep difficulties, challenging behaviour, mental health problems, autism, epilepsy and sensory needs in both children and adults. I have led nursing teams in NHS hospitals, specialist treatment and assessment units, challenging behaviour units and specialist child and adolescent mental health services.  

I have worked most recently as a Consultant Nurse covering several hospitals and residential homes in the South East of England for a private healthcare organisation.

In addition, I am a practitioner in Neuro Linguist Programming interventions and techniques along side NLP Life Coaching and Time Line Therapy.

I currently work as an Independent Consultant Nurse, and offer my freelance clinical services to children and adolescents, listed on this website privately. I work via online video using WhatsApp, Zoom and Teams.

In addition, I am trained to use the ADI-R diagnostic tool to assess Autism in children and adults. This is a face to face interview which takes about 90 to 120 minutes  with a care giver/informant. This uses a standardized interview and response scoring system.
