Consultant Behaviour Analyst
Clinical Lead
I have over 12 years' experience working with young people with learning difficulties, and began tutoring on home-based ABA programmes after graduating from my undergraduate degree in Psychology in 2009. Two years later I became a lead tutor, and I began supervising therapy programmes 2 years after that.
I have experience supporting learners of a wide range of abilities between 15-months to 25-years of age, and in a variety of settings including home based programmes, an ABA Saturday school, mainstream schools, and special needs schools.
I completed my Masters degree in ABA at Bangor University in 2017, and qualified as a Board Certified Behaviour Analyst (BCBA) in February 2020.
I feel passionate about making effective teaching and behaviour support affordable and accessible to families who struggle to access appropriate and effective therapies or support services for their child.
