Work experience
I completed BSc (Hons) occupational therapy degree (First Class) at the University of East Anglia in 2012. From 2013-2021 I worked as an occupational therapist in London in a psychiatric admissions ward, a community mental health clinic and a forensic hospital. In addition to the clinical work, I was the lead of occupational therapy department and a member of the hospital management. In 2021-2022 I worked as the lead of renouncing violence support service in Victim Support. In 2022 I returned to clinical work as an occupational therapist at Confido Medical Center, where in addition to adults, I started working with children and adolescents. In 2024 I completed MSc degree in sensory integration (Distinction) at Sheffield Hallam University. I am currently studying narrative therapy at a Diploma level at the Institute of Narrative Therapy.
Since 2021 I have been a guest lecturer at Tallinn Health Care College. Additionally, I have presented at seminars, training events and conferences in the UK and Estonia.
