Detailed CV

I am a Highly Specialist Paediatric Speech and Language Therapist, registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and a certified member of the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists (RCSLT). My clinical expertise lies in the areas of autism assessment and diagnosis, complex communication needs, and early intervention, with a commitment to delivering the highest standards of care in line with NICE and NHS guidelines.

​

I hold both a BSc and MSc in Speech and Language Pathology from the University of Louisiana at Monroe (2014, 2016) and bring over nine years of clinical experience within the NHS. During this time, I have supported preschool and school-aged children with a wide range of speech, language, and communication difficulties, including highly complex presentations.

​

My specialist focus is the assessment and management of social communication and interaction difficulties, particularly within the context of autism spectrum condition (ASC). I am formally trained and experienced in administering and interpreting the ADOS-2 (Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule – Second Edition), recognised as the gold-standard assessment tool for autism. At Clinic Autism London, I work as part of a multidisciplinary diagnostic team, contributing to comprehensive, evidence-based assessments that integrate perspectives from psychiatry, psychology, occupational therapy, and speech and language therapy.

​

My clinical practice is characterised by precision, professionalism, and a strengths-based approach. I place equal emphasis on diagnostic clarity and compassionate care, ensuring that each child’s unique developmental profile is understood and that families are supported throughout the assessment process.
