About Me

I’m a physiotherapist with a PhD from Imperial College London, and over the past five and a half years, I’ve worked across elite sport, NHS hospitals, and private practice settings. My approach is simple: make sure you understand your injury inside and out, so you feel confident, empowered, and in control of your recovery.

I believe wholeheartedly in patient-centred care. That means taking the time to sit with you, listen, and problem-solve — not just treating the symptoms, but getting to the root of the issue and helping you get back to what matters most.

While I treat a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, my special interest lies in acute knee injuries, particularly ACL injuries. My PhD focused on understanding knee joint laxity and improving the diagnostic and management process for ACL injuries. ACL tears often get a bad reputation — but it’s not all doom and gloom. Surgery can help, but it’s not always the only path. I’ll walk you through every option and help you choose the one that’s right for you.

I work closely with a network of sports medicine consultants and orthopaedic surgeons, which means you’ll have access to comprehensive, collaborative care — whether you need surgical referral, post-operative rehab, cross-bracing protocols, or conservative management.

No two bodies or injuries are the same — and that’s exactly why I love what I do.

Specialist evaluation including diagnostic guidance, surgical vs conservative planning, and early-stage intervention or referral.

Follow-Up Appointment (30-45 mins)

£95-£130

Progress monitoring, manual therapy, exercise progression, and strategy review.

Virtual Appointment (30 mins)

£95-£130

Ideal for remote check-ins, injury advice, or rehab progression. Includes a detailed history, movement screening (via video), tailored rehab guidance, and follow-up support via email. Perfect if you’re unable to attend in person but still want expert insight and direction.

Insurance FAQs

I’ve chosen not to register with large insurance providers like Bupa and AXA. Working independently allows me to offer longer appointments, more flexible treatment plans, and quicker access — without the constraints or session limits that often come with insurance contracts.

As a result, I operate on a self-pay basis, with payment taken at the time of your appointment.

While Bupa and AXA typically do not reimburse sessions with non-registered providers, many other insurers — including Vitality, WPA, Aviva, and Cigna — do allow you to claim for treatment with a HCPC-registered physiotherapist.

I’m happy to provide a detailed receipt (with HCPC number and treatment details) to support your claim. If you plan to use your insurance, I recommend checking your policy in advance to confirm your level of cover.
