I am a physiotherapist, qualified in 1988 and have been working in the since 1. After working nearly 20years in the I specialised in Pain at the Kings M Hospital.I joined Pics in 2019. My skill lies in working with groups, but I also see patients individually in a variety of fields including pain, Long Covid, ME/CFS and our young person’s service. My aim in all my work is to help patients have a better quality of life and I find this work very rewarding.

I qualified as a Physiotherapist in 1999 and worked at Nottingham University Hospitals for many years, gaining experience in outpatient and orthopaedic physiotherapy. Since 2009 I have specialised in the management of persistent pain, working for the Nottingham Back and Pain Team for 9 years before moving to PICS in 2018. I now work as a Pain Practitioner and am one of the lead clinicians for the Living Well with Pain Programmes in Greater Nottingham. I have a particular interest in mindfulness-based approaches in pain management and I am a fully qualified and BAMBA registered mindfulness teacher.

I completed my degree in Physiotherapy in 2007. Since then I have worked in Nottingham, completing my junior physiotherapy rotations at Nottingham University Hospitals before specialising in working with people living with persistent pain in 2010. I joined PICS in 2018. I work with people individually and within groups, supporting those with pain to live full valued lives. Over the past few years I have also specialised in Fatigue Management and in particular treating people with Long Covid and ME/CFS. I have recently started a Master’s degree in Public Health.

I qualified as a physiotherapist in 2002, working predominantly at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust. I gained experience in many rehabilitation health settings, and this led to a specialist role (working with people diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis); it was during this time that I gained insight, and developed an interest in working with people who had a life-long condition. In 2014 I began specialising in supporting people in managing persistent pain. As part of this journey, I qualified as a mindfulness teacher and gained experience in other therapeutic models used in this speciality. I joined PICS as a Pain Practitioner in 2020. As well as leading pain programmes and supporting people individually, I now also assess and support people with ME/CFS and Long Covid fatigue. I have a specialist interest in using compassion focused approaches.

I qualified as a Physiotherapist in 2004 from Coventry University, working in the area of Trauma and Orthopaedics in-patients up until 2022. Throughout my career I developed a strong interest in acute and persistent pain and how they are both managed. I have since moved into a specialised role in Pain Management with PICS in January 2023.

I am totally committed to working with people to live better lives with persistent pain. I am passionate about the mind and body connection and how improving this can help manage the impact of persistent pain.

I am a registered Occupational Therapist and have worked extensively in an NHS Mental Health Trust and in Primary Care, delivering proactive care, supporting patients with long term conditions with a whole person approach. I worked in an NHS Staff Wellbeing service providing individual and group mental health support for health and social care staff in Lincolnshire, in response to the physical and psychological impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. I joined PICS in 2022, and really enjoy working with people in the long term pain, ME/CFS and Long Covid fatigue pathway, providing guided self management support both individually and in groups. My special interests in the pathway are managing fatigue, quality rest, sleep and gut health. I hope people will gain a better understanding of their condition and feel well supported, enabling them to engage in active self management approaches, to improve their quality of life.

I qualified as a physiotherapist from Sheffield Hallam University in 2011. I’ve worked for 10 years within musculoskeletal departments across Lincolnshire, and South Yorkshire.  I gradually focussed my learning and training more towards working with people with persistent pain and long-term conditions. I joined PICS in 2022 supporting people living alongside persistent pain, ME/CFS and Long-Covid fatigue to empower patients towards optimizing their self-care strategies and improve quality of life. I work with people on a 1:1 basis and also within our Moving On With Pain Programme. I am also working towards my Master’s degree in Advancing Professional Practice alongside my clinical role with an emphasis on the management of long-term conditions.

I qualified as a Physiotherapist in 1997. Before my Physiotherapy training, I completed a BSc degree in Psychology. After working in a variety of areas within the NHS elsewhere in the UK, I developed an interest in persistent musculoskeletal pain and supporting people with their longer term self management I have worked as a Clinical Specialist in Pain Management within a multidisciplinary team since 2002. My role now also includes ME/CFS management support. I have worked within the PICS Community Pain & Fatigue Pathway since 2018. I am lead clinician for the ‘Moving WithPain’ programmes.
