I am a qualified NHS Physiotherapist with over a decade of experience, based in North East England. I currently hold clinics across Northumberland & Newcastle, where I specialise in Neurological Rehabilitation.

Since qualifying in 2011, I have gained extensive experience as a Chartered Physiotherapist within the NHS, with the last 12 years dedicated to neurological rehabilitation.

During this time, I have worked at Newcastle Upon Tyne NHS Foundation Trust, treating a wide range of neurological conditions, including stroke, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, functional neurological disorders, and long-term conditions. I continue to work within the Neuro department at Newcastle Hospitals, where I hold a clinical lead role.

I am a highly specialist neurological physiotherapist with extensive experience and advanced training in a range of therapeutic interventions.

My qualifications include:

• Advanced Bobath Training: Bobath Concept, a problem-solving approach in the assessment and treatment of individuals with neurological conditions, focusing on enhancing movement control and functional independence.
• APPI Certified: Trained in the Australian Physiotherapy and Pilates Institute (APPI) method, integrating clinical Pilates into rehabilitation programs to enhance strength, flexibility, and overall functional recovery.
• Hydrotherapy: Skilled in using water-based therapy to assist in the rehabilitation process, utilising the properties of water to promote movement, reduce pain, and enhance overall physical function.
• Spasticity Management: Proficient in the assessment and management of spasticity, employing various techniques to reduce muscle stiffness, improve movement, and enhance the quality of life for individuals with neurological conditions.
• Specialist Intervention for Functional Neurological Disorder (FND): Trained in delivering tailored physiotherapy interventions for individuals with FND, focusing on restoring movement and improving functional outcomes.

My approach is patient-centered, focusing on delivering personalised care that meets the unique needs of each individual. I am dedicated to helping you achieve your goals and improve your quality of life.
