About us

I’m a registered nurse with nearly 20 years’ experience in healthcare, beginning in oncology, haematology and end-of-life care at Guy’s and St Thomas’. I then moved into specialist helpline nursing at Prostate Cancer UK and Compassion in Dying, where I spent almost a decade and went on to lead the nurse-led helpline as Deputy Director. Along the way I supported people directly, led specialist services and delivered education and training to healthcare professionals through conferences, webinars and teaching.

Much of my career has involved helping people understand their rights and choices, explore their options and navigate difficult decisions about treatment and care. I’ve seen first-hand how confusing and overwhelming the healthcare system can be, particularly when people’s wishes aren’t understood or they don’t feel involved in decisions.

Working outside the clinical setting gave me a different perspective. With health and care colleagues under extreme pressure, there is often little time for these conversations. I saw how valuable it is to have someone take the time to listen, explain complex clinical and legal information in plain language, and help people feel more confident speaking with healthcare professionals.

I co-founded the Advanced Care Planning Navigation Service because I believe in informed choice. Everyone deserves clear, balanced, clinically informed support to make decisions about their care, and to have their wishes understood and respected.

With over 25 years of nursing experience, I have built my career around supporting individuals and families through complex healthcare decisions, with specialist expertise in palliative care, advance care planning and clinical decision-making.

My professional background spans frontline clinical practice, senior specialist nursing and clinical leadership. As an Independent Prescriber, with additional advanced clinical training, I bring extensive clinical knowledge, a strong understanding of healthcare systems and considerable experience in supporting people to navigate difficult and often sensitive decisions.

Throughout my career, I have seen first-hand how challenging it can be to understand healthcare options, access appropriate support and ensure individual wishes are recognised and respected. I am passionate about bridging that gap, providing clear, evidence-based information and personalised guidance that enables people to make informed decisions with confidence.

I believe that everyone deserves to feel informed, listened to and empowered when making decisions about their health and future care.

My approach combines clinical expertise, professionalism and genuine compassion, with a commitment to ensuring that every conversation is guided by what matters most to the individual.
