Since qualifying as an Occupational Therapist in 1991, it has been a  privilege to work with so many clients with a range of different disabilities and conditions. I enjoy working with the wider multi-disciplinary team to ensure my clients receive the best possible support and services to meet their needs.  Listening to what is important to each of my clients is key to my day to day work as a Case Manager and I am keen to work with them to find the best solutions that work for them. Problem solving is core to my practice both as an OT and as a Case Manager.
