I am an autism education specialist with over 25 years of experience in teaching and Autism consultancy. I hold a PGCE with QTS, the National Award for SEN Coordination (NASENCO), and a PGDip in Special Educational Needs and Inclusion (Autism). I’m also licensed by the National Autistic Society to deliver parent training, and am qualified in SEND Law - IPSEA Level3.
I work closely with schools, families, and professionals to create supportive, inclusive environments where autistic learners can thrive. My approach blends proven expertise with understanding and empathy, ensuring every child and every family feels valued and heard.
