As a Clinical Neuropsychologist I work with people who have conditions that affect brain function, such as brain injury or dementia. My role involves understanding how a person’s brain condition affects their behaviour, mood, and cognitive abilities (thinking skills such as memory and concentration). I also see people for psychological therapy, to support them to find ways of managing difficulties linked to their neurological condition.
I am Clinical Lead for Bradford Community Head Injury Rehabilitation Team (CHIRT), where I work alongside occupational therapists and other teams to provide specialist rehabilitation for people who have sustained a traumatic brain injury. Working with the person and their family, we support the person with brain injury to maximise their abilities and achieve their rehabilitation goals.
I qualified as a Clinical Psychologist in 2003 and have worked for Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust since 2006. I began specialising in clinical neuropsychology in 2013, qualifying as a Clinical Neuropsychologist in 2022.
