Clinical Background

​

I have practiced as a clinical neuropsychologist for over 12 years, conducting cognitive assessments and functional brain mapping services in patients undergoing neurosurgery. I adopt an evidence-based approach to assessment and rehabilitation and specialise in offering clinical services to patients with epilepsy and non-epileptic seizures as well as a number of other neurological conditions.

Rehabilitation Therapy

​

I have a special interest in mindfulness training and over 20 year’s experience of personal practice as well as scientific study into the mechanisms and neurobiology of mindfulness. I am also a certified facilitator of Mindfulness-Based Interventions.
