About Me
I am a community rehabilitation specialist having worked for over a decade in the NHS treating people within their home environment.
I graduated from the University of Brighton in 2009 and spent three years working as a junior physiotherapist at St Richard's hospital completing rotations in all core areas of physiotherapy. I felt it was essential to gain as much experience as I could covering all areas of physiotherapy in order to specialise in the community further along in my career.
​
I am registered with the Health Care and Professionals Council (HCPC). I am also a member of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapists (CSP).
​
I went onto specialise in community rehabilitation as a senior physiotherapist in a split post working both in the community (seeing patients in their homes) and treating patients on the ward at Midhurst community hospital hospital. I was fortunate to expand my clinical experience through treating patients with a diverse array of complex medical problems.
​
By working in the community you gain a wealth of experience as you are treating people with a wide range of different medical problems such as rehabilitation after a long term hospital stay due to spinal surgery or those recovering from orthopaedic surgery (post hip/shoulder/ knee) replacement. I frequently treat people who are struggling with their mobility after multiple falls leading to a loss of confidence and balance. I am used to treating people with arthritic pain and chronic joint pain.
​
I am highly experienced in helping people with respiratory conditions such as COPD or Interstitial lung disease and can help people to manage their breathlessness in order to live a more fulfilling life.
I love treating people in their home environment as it's important to establish what is most important to them and tailor my treatment and goal setting to their needs. I really enjoy assisting people to regain their independence and support them in getting back to their baseline.
I work part time for both Sussex Community NHS Foundation Trust and Nuffield Health Chichester. I work within the pulmonary rehabilitation team in the NHS treating respiratory patients. I assess and treat patients after their orthopaedic surgery for Nuffield heath. I also work privately within my local area providing physiotherapy treatment to people within their home environment.
