Expert Witness

I provide specialist psychosexual services for individuals affected by spinal injury, including therapy, assessment and expert witness reporting. My work integrates trauma-informed approaches, psychosexual expertise, EMDR and cognitive behavioural therapy, offering a clear and sensitive understanding of the emotional, relational and sexual impact of catastrophic injury.

I accept referrals from solicitors, case managers, rehabilitation teams and private clients nationwide.
