Hi. I’m Lisa, a Chartered Clinical Psychologist with over 15 years of experience in supporting neurodivergent people, both professionally and in my personal life. I have always loved working in this area, and became aware early on in my career about the need for more understanding, support and services for autistic people and those with ADHD.
This led to me completing my doctoral research in this area whilst completing my clinical training. Since qualifying in 2016, I have worked within a range of settings, including with autistic adults with and without learning disabilities, and with children who have experienced developmental trauma.
In my most recent NHS post, I worked within a children and young people’s Autism and ADHD diagnostic assessment service. This work really helped me to recognise the need for access to prompt, thorough and supportive assessment, in addition to more support following diagnosis.
I am enthusiastic about offering both of these services in a neuroaffirmative way. To
me, this means working collaboratively with people, supporting them to explore and understand their differences, and to celebrate their strengths.
In my spare time, I love spending time with my family, reading, running and anything Disney or Harry Potter related!
