Profile

I have worked extensively with adults and most of my clients have had an acquired brain injury sustained at birth, in childhood, or adulthood. I am experienced in supporting individuals who have some or all of the following: epilepsy, physical impairments, communication impairments, cognitive impairments and psychological impairments.

I am energetic and innovative in my approach and very experienced in supporting adult clients and their families particularly in the areas of self-care, leisure and vocational activities and am familiar and confident in dealing with issues which come up during and post-litigation.

I am a professional mentor for a small team of ILS Case Managers, providing them with professional support to meet ILS’ high standards of client care and reflect the company values.

"When I was asked who I thought would be a good case manager for a very challenging client I was working with, my first thought was Eliot Lamb because of his empathetic and professional approach. I’ve worked with Eliot with more than one client over the past five years and I would fully recommend him. In addition to the excellent support he offered the client and team I also found his Supervisions incredibly beneficial for my reflective practice."
