I am an HCPC-registered Occupational Therapist and a member of the Royal College of Occupational Therapists, also affiliated with the Brazilian Academy of Sleep Medicine. I hold a Master’s degree in Sleep Medicine and Physiology, alongside postgraduate qualifications in Applied Behaviour Analysis, Paediatric Occupational Therapy, and Pharmacology, as well as a range of certifications, short courses, and masterclasses.

My clinical focus centres on neurodevelopmental conditions, particularly autism and ADHD, their underlying mechanisms and clinical interventions, and on the non-pharmacological management of sleep disorders across the lifespan. I also have a dedicated interest in rare diseases, from early intervention through to lifespan care.

In my private paediatric practice, I work with children presenting developmental delays that affect daily functioning, delivering early intervention within the child’s natural environments, home, community and school. I also work with neurodivergent adults, supporting diagnostic screening and strategies to increase participation in everyday life. Within my sleep practice, I support families in structuring infant sleep, parents and carers of neurodivergent children in improving their own sleep, and adults with insomnia through CBT I. Sleep, from an Occupational Therapy perspective, is understood in the context of everything a person does across their day, their routines and environment, and the impact that sleep, or the lack of it, has on daily occupations.

I am also a co-founder and patient education writer at LumiNest, and completed a medical writing internship at Klarity, focused on translating clinical knowledge into plain language for families and diverse audiences. My particular interests lie in neurodivergence, sleep science, rare diseases and underexplored areas of Occupational Therapy practice.
