Bronwyn is a Specialist Mental Health Nurse, accredited clinical supervisor, and a highly skilled senior neurodevelopmental assessor.

Alongside her assessment practice, she supports colleagues through clinical supervision, NMC revalidation, and annual appraisal.

Her interest in this work is both professional and personal, shaped by one guiding principle: choosing change takes courage. She believes assessment should feel like being met, not measured, and that a diagnosis should open doors rather than close them.
