About Jade
I am an Assistant Psychologist, which means I support qualified, registered clinicians in delivering clinical assessments. At Evolving Families, I coordinate neurodevelopmental assessments for children and adults, including autism and ADHD assessments.
My role includes guiding clients through questionnaires and assessment measures, conducting school observations and interviews, and helping bring together information for the clinicians involved. I want the process to feel clear and manageable, with space for clients and families to share their experiences and ask questions.
Before joining Evolving Families, I supported children and adults in their therapeutic journeys within a Community Interest Company (CIC). I have also worked in a residential mental health setting, providing group wellbeing sessions for children and adolescents with eating disorders, and adults experiencing addiction and acute mental health difficulties.
These experiences have strengthened my interest in understanding people’s individual needs and helping them feel comfortable accessing psychological support. My particular interests include autism, ADHD, neurodevelopment, anxiety and trauma.
I aim to place the individual at the heart of my work. For me, this means listening carefully, taking people’s experiences seriously and communicating with honesty, transparency and professionalism.
Assessments can feel unfamiliar, whether you are seeking answers for yourself or your child. I hope that working with me helps you feel safe, supported and at ease, and that you know what to expect as you move through the process.

A little more about Jade
Outside work, I enjoy spending time with my friends, family and my dog, Crumble. Running is one of my favourite ways to switch off, and I have completed marathons in different parts of the world.
With my background in geography, I am particularly interested in the relationship between our surroundings and wellbeing. I enjoy exploring how running in green and blue spaces, such as parks and alongside rivers, can help us feel better.
