I have been a qualified Occupational Therapist since graduating in 2005. I initially worked within in a Physical and Mental Health rotation which gave me a great insight into the various roles of an Occupational Therapist. Following this I have spent 13 years working in Child and Adolescent Mental Health. During this time, I have held both clinical and leadership roles within the team, both of which allowed me to utilise my Occupational Therapy reasoning and clinical skills. Whilst working in practice I have completed various qualifications in Play Therapy, Sensory Processing, leadership skills and Coaching and Mentoring which has enabled me to integrate my OT skills and promote the profession in many different environments and within the multidisciplinary team. I am very passionate about Occupational Therapy and the opportunities the profession has to make a difference and encourage dynamic, holistic approaches.
Alongside my professional journey I am also a Mum of two young boys who keep me busy and greatly amused. I enjoy keeping fit and being outdoors with the family and friends.
