Clinical Experience

I was Head of Children and Youth Services at a Belfast-based charity, where I led regional services supporting children and young people affected by acquired brain injury. Alongside this, I developed and facilitated parent and carer support groups and an advocacy service.

​

My clinical experience spans both children and adults with a wide range of communication needs. I have a particular interest in supporting children with speech sound disorders, helping them to develop clearer, more confident communication through evidence-based, individualised therapy.

 

I also have extensive experience working with individuals with acquired communication difficulties following brain injury and stroke, including adults with aphasia and dysarthria, supporting them to improve communication, confidence and participation in everyday life.

​

Wider Experience & Leadership

I have experience delivering training in education, community and healthcare settings, supporting professionals to develop practical approaches to communication and language.

​

Alongside my clinical work, I am a Board Member at Larne Community Care Centre, contributing to the development and governance of services that support the local community.
