Clinical work

Long-term health conditions

Some illnesses resolve. Others change shape, require adaptation and become part of the architecture of everyday life.

My clinical work has focused on people and families navigating those longer journeys — the appointments in between, the questions that return, and the practical work of living alongside a condition.

Clinical experience includes

  • Long-term health conditions
  • Autoimmune care
  • Families with special needs
A consultation is never only about symptoms.

The clinical encounter

It is also about what a person has understood, what they have been told before, what they fear, what their family believes, what they can realistically manage and what they hope will happen next.
