About Me
Specialist Mentor | Registered Mental Health Nurse | Founder of DSA Mentoring & Consultancy
I began my career as a Registered Mental Health Nurse, working within CAMHS supporting children and young people with complex emotional and psychological needs.
I have since worked across education, including within a Sixth Form College and as an Equal Opportunities Mentor, supporting students to access learning in ways that are inclusive, realistic, and sustainable.
I currently work within Higher Education at Hereford College of Arts, providing specialist mentoring for neurodivergent students, with a focus on executive functioning, emotional regulation, and confidence within creative and academic environments.
Alongside my professional experience, I bring lived understanding as a parent of neurodivergent children and through my own late diagnosis of ADHD and Autism. This shapes a mentoring approach that is grounded, compassionate, and genuinely informed by real-life experience.
I will also be undertaking further study at the University of Chester, completing an MA in Special Educational Needs and Specific Learning Difficulties (SEN & SpLD), continuing to develop evidence-based, neuro-affirming practice.
