Welcome to my brain injury blog. Check out what I have previously discovered about living with a brain injury. I have shared the insights my experience has given me, as well as my recommendations and tips for others. Hopefully this helps both survivors and their families as I also cared for my Dad as he deteriorated with Alzheimer’s’ so I do understand what It’s like to be on the other side of the coin.

I am a brain injury survivor who offers support based on my own unique story and experience. My advice isn’t something that has just been read in a book, it’s based on what really had results for me. I’m not a licensed therapist, but I have real insight on the struggles a brain injury can cause for survivors and their families. I’m always keen to put the client first, and if I believe someone would benefit from speaking to a therapist before working with me, I am always honest with them, and will offer to refer them to a suitable therapist.
