AUTHOR & BUSINESS SOLUTIONS SPECIALIST
Welcome
I am an author, creative professional, and business solutions specialist with over 30 years of experience across digital design, education, and IT management. Throughout my career, I’ve worked in roles ranging from IT Specialist at a leading autism charity to Online Safety Consultant for schools, families, and local authorities - helping parents, teachers, and young people on the autism spectrum navigate the online world safely, confidently, and with greater understanding.
My work is shaped by a lifelong commitment to accessibility, empowerment, and practical solutions. As the founder of VR4Autism and creator of LifeLikeVR, I am deeply passionate about using technology to support communication, reduce anxiety, and create immersive learning environments for neurodivergent individuals. The project is growning through partnerships with universities, community groups, and autism organisations, with a shared goal of improving the way children learn and connect through innovative digital experiences.
Whether through writing, digital creation, or technology development, my aim is always the same: to make information clearer, support more accessible, and opportunities easier to reach for the people who need them most.

Health & Wellbeing
As a qualified Health & Nutrition Advisor since 2024, I share practical, real-world guidance to help individuals improve their energy, focus, and overall wellbeing through simple, sustainable nutritional choices. My approach is rooted in gluten-free, keto, and carnivore-inspired principles, with an emphasis on real, nutrient-dense foods that support both physical and mental health.
I create easy-to-follow plans, recipes, and resources that cut through confusing diet information and focus on what actually works. Whether someone is looking to boost their concentration, stabilise their mood, improve digestion, reduce inflammation, or simply feel better day-to-day, I offer advice that is realistic, accessible, and tailored to modern lifestyles.
My goal is to help people build confidence around food, develop healthier habits, and understand how nutrition can be a powerful tool for long-term wellbeing.
Advocacy & Awareness
I also collaborate with charities, community groups, and organisations to champion causes that deeply matter to me. This includes raising awareness around Parental Alienation, supporting families navigating the complexities of the UK’s Child Maintenance Service (CMS), and helping parents understand their rights and options in challenging circumstances.
Through writing, education, and direct advocacy, I work to amplify the voices of those who often struggle to be heard. I create clear, accessible resources, share lived experience where it can help others, and support campaigns aimed at improving fairness and support for families in crisis.
My goal is to use storytelling, knowledge, and practical guidance to drive positive change - empowering individuals, influencing understanding, and helping communities support those facing difficult and emotionally complex situations.
