About Lucy

Lucy is an experienced Occupational Therapist with over 15 years of clinical practice across community, inpatient, neurological, acute, and rehabilitation settings. Her career has been centred around delivering high‑quality, evidence‑based intervention to adults with complex needs, including acquired brain injury, stroke, trauma, and long‑term neurological conditions. She is committed to empowering clients to regain independence, achieve meaningful goals, and maximise their long‑term functional outcomes.

Lucy has extensive experience delivering specialist assessments using a broad range of standardised cognitive, perceptual, and functional tools. She incorporates evidence‑based, innovative approaches into rehabilitation programmes to ensure interventions are both effective and clinically robust. Lucy’s practice is grounded in strong clinical reasoning, with excellent organisational skills, and a compassionate, client‑centred approach that prioritises collaboration with families, carers, and multidisciplinary teams.

Lucy provides comprehensive assessments and rehabilitation plans in line with the Rehabilitation Code 2015. Lucy is skilled in coordinating complex rehabilitation pathways, facilitating vocational rehabilitation, and communicating clearly with clients, solicitors, insurers, and other professionals to ensure consistent progress and effective goal attainment. Building strong relationships and fostering trust are central to how she practises, ensuring clients feel supported, understood, and motivated throughout their rehabilitation journey.

Her career includes extensive specialist experience in stroke and neurological rehabilitation across both inpatient and Early Supported Discharge services. Lucy has worked closely with physiotherapists, speech and language therapists, neuropsychologists, neurologists, and third‑sector agencies, contributing to integrated recovery pathways from acute care through to community reintegration. This breadth of experience has given her deep understanding of the challenges faced by individuals with life‑changing conditions and the strategies required to support their recovery across diverse environments.

Lucy brings strong analytical skills, high‑quality report writing, a balanced and objective clinical approach, and a commitment to professional integrity, qualities that are essential for effective expert witness work. Lucy is enthusiastic about continuing to broaden my professional scope, contributing my specialist expertise to independent practice while maintaining my commitment to delivering exceptional, person‑centred care.
