Fiona has extensive experience of working in acute and community neurorehabilitation settings and working with patients and their families throughout the lifespan after brain injury.

Fiona offers cognitive assessment to help make sense of cognitive strengths and difficulties after brain injury and to inform cognitive rehabilitation approaches that are evidence-based and tailored to individual goals. She has experience of working with personality and behaviour change after brain injury and in supporting individuals, and those around them to understand, support and adapt to changes.

Fiona offers therapeutic interventions to support mood and psychological adjustment to the consequences of brain injury. She uses an integrated and tailored approach that is person-centred and that is underpinned by recent research evidence. She primarily draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Compassion Focused Therapy approaches in her work. She takes a collaborative approach, working with individuals to understand their current difficulties and challenges and to finding new and meaningful ways forward.

She enjoys working in residential settings, both directly with individuals as well as with the systems around them, such as support staff, family and other members of the rehabilitation team. Fiona is also experienced in assessing decision-making capacity after brain injury.

Fiona is friendly and approachable and keeps the individual and what is important to them at the heart of her work. She has undertaken specialist neuropsychology training and continues to build on this through her Masters in Clinical Neuropsychology.
