About me
After qualifying as a Physiotherapist at Northumbria University, I began working as an MSK Physiotherapist in the NHS. Here, I developed a strong foundation in musculoskeletal assessment and treatment. This experience shaped my clinical reasoning and gave me a robust understanding of common MSK pathologies. I spent 3 years working in the NHS, I was promoted to a senior role during this time.
I found working in the NHS difficult due to the sheer volume of patients and lack of depth within the time you had. I felt like this way of working didn’t resonate with me as the sessions were short which meant an exercise prescription was the main focus. While this can be effective for some people, it often felt like the bigger picture was missed.
I later moved to work in a private clinic in London. This type of work allowed for more time and depth with patient’s. I had access to better facilities and was able to refer directly to consultants. During this time I trained in Pilates (reformer & mat) and acupuncture.
Despite the increased access to resources and treatment, there was still a group of individuals who weren’t getting better. Again, it felt as if only symptoms were being addressed and the whole person overlooked.
I established my own practice in Dulwich so I could have increased appointment times, allowing for me to truly understand each person’s story. I began integrating nervous system regulation and education about chronic pain into my work and I witnessed how profoundly this was able to support people. Working independently part time gave me the confidence to continue to build my own practice.
I have since trained in Pain Reprocessing Therapy - an evidence-based approach for treating chronic pain and persistent symptoms by addressing the role of the brain and nervous system. This framework allows me to help people with confidence and more depth. It gave me an effective took kit to use with patients.
Today, my work integrates my background in Physiotherapy with a deeper understanding of how pain truly works. My clinical training means I am able to assess symptoms carefully, screen for any concerning symptoms and identify if further medical input may be necessary.
This foundation ensures that when we explore the role of the brain and nervous system in persistent pain, it is done safely, appropriately, and with a clear understanding of the physical body.

my Philosophy
Rooted in science.
Guided by connection.
I see the body not as separate systems, but as an integrated, intelligent and whole.
Looking at symptoms with curiosity, acknowledging the interweb of emotions, beliefs and biology and how they continuously shape one another.
My work blends neuroscience and physiology with felt experience.
