I am a Registered Mental Health Nurse with Advanced Practice, bringing over 15 years of experience across adult and older adult mental health services in NHS Fife and NHS Tayside. My career has spanned a variety of clinical settings, including acute inpatient care, community mental health teams, specialist outpatient services, and crisis intervention. This diverse background has equipped me with a deep understanding of mental health complexities across the lifespan.
As an Advanced Nurse Specialist, I have undertaken extensive training in complex assessment, diagnosis, and treatment planning. My skill set includes neurodevelopmental disorder (NDD) assessments and non-medical prescribing. I am passionate about delivering holistic, person-centred care that values each individual’s unique needs and strengths.
My practice is rooted in compassion, clinical excellence, and advocacy. I am particularly committed to improving services for neurodivergent individuals, ensuring care is inclusive, equitable, and responsive. I work collaboratively with multidisciplinary teams, carers, and support networks to promote recovery, independence, and quality of life.
In addition to clinical work, I actively contribute to service development and improvement, aligning practice with national standards, local priorities, and the voices of those who use our services.
