With a career spanning over two decades, I bring a wealth of experience and passion for supporting children, young people, and families. I began my journey as a Registered General Nurse (RGN) in 1996, working in both community settings and a paediatric hospital. This foundation in nursing inspired me to pursue a specialization in school nursing, culminating in the completion of my degree and qualification as a Specialist Community Public Health Nurse. It was during this time that I developed a deep interest in neurodiversity and its impact on children and families.

Building on this passion, I transitioned into a role within a community paediatric service in the NHS, where I have been a Specialist ADHD Nurse for the past nine years. In this role, I have further honed my expertise, including training in the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS) for assessing children with potential autism spectrum conditions.

I am deeply committed to my work, finding fulfillment in supporting, assessing, and empowering children, young people, and their families to navigate the challenges they face and achieve their potential. My practice is rooted in empathy, understanding, and a dedication to making a positive difference in the lives of those I serve.

Alex is a Psychiatric Consultant Nurse who has worked for the NHS and independent providers for the past 21 years. He has gained extensive experience both in the UK and internationally, working in several specialty settings. Alex completed his Master’s in Advanced Clinical Practice at LSBU in 2020 and has undertaken additional training in assessing and treating neurodevelopmental disorders, including ADHD and Autism.

I have been working as a Speech and Language Therapist since 2007. During this time I have worked across a range of clinical settings, special schools and mainstream schools. My interest is in Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) – I have worked as part of a multi-disciplinary diagnostic team since 2009. I work with children with ASD from the ages of 2 to 19, delivering different therapeutic interventions.

Becky qualified as a speech and language therapist in 2013 and has worked in schools and the NHS and has a passion for working with neurodivergent individuals.

I joined Wellbeing in 2018 as an Occupational Therapist. I have worked as an Occupational Therapist within the NHS for 32 years, working with children/young people of all ages who have a wide range of special educational and physical needs. I trained to administer the ADOS assessment over 10 years ago and during my time working with Provide CIC was a member of the multidisciplinary team which assessed and diagnosed children and young people who have ASD. I have undertaken many postgraduate courses in sensory processing which have enabled me to provide support and advice to children who have sensory processing difficulties associated with their diagnosis of ASD. I enjoy the variety of my role: although the assessment tool is the same, each child / young person I meet is different.

After qualifying as an Occupational Therapist in 2005, Charlotte initially spent time gaining core skills on a rotation between hospital wards and the community before specialising in Community Paediatrics. She developed a special interest in Sensory processing and Autism and completed post graduate study in these areas. She is a member of the Royal College of Occupational Therapists, SI Network and Children, Young people and families Specialist Section. She joined Provide Wellbeing in August 2021, and really enjoys the variety of age groups and abilities of the children and young people that she works with.
