Yes! As a disabled person myself I do my best to accommodate any needs. If you need any accommodations to access this service, let me know in your enquiry email, or at our discovery call.

Types of accommodations might include; having breaks in the appointment or using subtitles.

As a graduate of anthropology, I take a culturally sensitive approach to practice. With your help, together, we can adapt our sessions to your cultural or religious needs. Do let me know if there is anything we can do to accommodate you further! I am also open to feedback or suggestions if there is anything I could do to make my service more accommodating.

People of any gender or sexuality identities are welcome here! I am Pansexual myself.

​

I also pride myself on creating a safe space for transgender people and consider myself to be an ally.

As part of my training, I completed a placement within a gender identity clinic, which gave me a stronger understanding of the current gender clinic pathways, gender confirmation surgeries, terminology and biopsychosocial factors that may be impacting your well-being. Do let me know your pronouns in your email, or fill out my form once you book a session (the form link will be in your portal registration email).

I am also open to feedback or suggestions if there is anything I could do to make my service more LGBTQIA+ friendly!

I am an occupational therapist who mainly works with autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia and ADHD. But in summary, I work with anyone who identifies as neurodivergent who I feel I have the skill set to support. I specialise in late diagnosed autistic women and gender minorities.

Please do get in touch if you would like to find out if I could support you.

Occupational therapy can help you explore your diagnosis/self-diagnosis. We can discuss and explore ways to make your life easier and happier and work towards your goals.

Feel free to drop me an email between our sessions! please note:

• I'll do my best to get back to you within 48 hours, Monday to Friday, between 10 am and 5 pm.

• If you need to sort through thoughts, sharing via email is welcome. I'll always read them and likely drop a quick note of acknowledgment. Please remember, I'll keep these emails in your clinical notes—it's part of my professional responsibility.

• While I'm here to support you, if you're in urgent need, reach out to 999 (or your local emergency services) or the NHS crisis line.

• Questions for clarity? Shoot me an email! Whether it's about something we discussed or clarifications on equipment examples.

• Forgot to mention something in our session? No worries! Drop me a note, and we'll catch up on it next time.

• Your feedback matters! Let me know how I can improve our sessions to better suit your needs.

• Remember, for urgent matters, please refer to your safety plan or contact emergency services.

• I keep things pretty casual in emails, often throwing in emojis for that friendly touch. When reaching out to other healthcare professionals or employers, I switch to a formal tone.

• Wondering if there's an earlier slot available? Feel free to ask! I'll do my best to accommodate you as soon as possible.

• If you have any questions about our email boundaries, don't hesitate to ask. 😊​

It will depend on what kind of support you're looking for, but my OT sessions are generally flexible. I would recommend a minimum of the following:

1. Free discovery call

2. Initial assessment (not a scary test, don't worry!)

3. OT appointments (1 or 2) planning towards your goals

4. OT appointments (usually 2+), working towards your goal

5. OT appointments checking in on how you got on putting the strategies in place & any questions.

6. Repeat 4& 5 for each goal

7.  Final OT appointment; tying up loose ends, outcome measures and setback planning.

I believe in being transparent about pricing. Therefore I publish my prices on the website. Please visit the 'services' page for more information about each service offered.Reports are available for an extra cost.

​

You can also pay for sessions using your personal budget from social care, Access-to-work funding & employers can fund sessions: please email for a free quote.

Unfortunately, I am unable to work with clients who have attempted suicide within the last month, as specialist mental health support would be better suited to your needs.
