About

I am a clinical psychologist with extensive experience in forensic mental health and clinical risk assessment. Since 2018, I have worked within the Justice Health and Forensic Mental Health Network, specialising in comprehensive risk assessment and report writing for both forensic and civil matters. My work is guided by a commitment to independence and evidence-based practice, ensuring that courts, tribunals, and legal professionals receive reliable and impartial expert opinions.

I provide specialist medico-legal reports addressing issues such as risk assessment, mental health and offending, fitness assessment, sentencing considerations, and treatment recommendations. My goal is to deliver assessments that support informed legal decision-making while balancing the needs of individuals and the broader community.
