About Alex

Alex lives in Sutton Coldfield and enjoys working across Birmingham in both mainstream and specialist settings.

Interests & Specialisms

Alex qualified as a speech and language therapist in 2010 after completing an undergraduate degree in Psychology.

Since then, she has built a varied and fulfilling career across multiple NHS settings, including Early Years services, primary schools, and more specialist environments, including Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS). 

For the past ten years, Alex has also worked as a neurodevelopmental practitioner, supporting children, young people, and their families as they navigate the autism assessment pathway. This aspect of her work is something she finds especially meaningful and rewarding.

Alex particularly enjoys working with autistic children and their families and is passionate about practicing in a neuro-affirming way – moving away from deficit-based models of autism. 

More recently, Alex has increased her independent practice work, allowing her to focus on work that feels purposeful and aligned with her values, whilst achieving a healthier work–life balance.
