About me

I have many years of experience working with patients who present to Neurosciences. My job involves in-patient and out-patient working with the multi-disciplinary teams. Also contact with commissioners when referring patients to specialist neuro-rehabilitation centres. I have worked in a number of specialist centres since 1981, and have a good working knowledge of the local network and provider organisations. My current clinical work involves helping people adjust to significant life changing circumstances; assessment of cognition using formal and informal methods; therapy and treatment of psychological difficulties; and support to family members, close friends and signification others.
