My story

Alex is an Award winning and multiple award nominee; back in 2023 she identified a gap in the support available for older teens and adults who are also neurodivergent.

Through Alex's training and personal experience, she recognised the need for a professional who had lived through similar experiences, and who could understand the unique challenges faced by neurodivergent individuals and provide tailored support accordingly.

This led Alex to create 'Navigate Neurodiversity Occupational Therapy'. ​ Alex is committed to providing personalised, one-on-one occupational therapy sessions exclusively offered online via video calls. The focus is on helping clients identify their unique needs and strengths and developing individualised therapy sessions to step closer to their goals.

Where else you'll find my work:

Alongside my 1:1 work, I contribute to research, product development, and resources that I think can make a difference for neurodivergent people.

I'm a sensory processing consultant for SensoryMe, a sensory app currently in development, and I provided autistic community and sensory consulting for the Sensory Street supermarket accessibility guide, which was presented to major supermarkets across the UK. I'm also involved in several research projects focused on autism and improving both the accessibility and scope of what gets studied, and I sit on the SAFEguard Autonomy NIHR PDA Steering Group during its pre-award phase. My knowledge has also found its way into print, I was interviewed for and quoted in Studying with Dyspraxia by Rosemary Richings, published 2026.
