My name is Charlotte and I'm a Chartered Physiotherapist based in Essex, with over a decade of experience, specialising in neurological and stroke rehabilitation. I've spent my career working with people with a wide range of conditions, including:
-
Stroke
-
Parkinson's
-
Multiple sclerosis,
-
motor neurone disease
-
traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries
-
functional neurological disorder
-
vestibular problems.
My NHS career has taken me from acute stroke units through to community and early supported discharge services. Along the way I've taken on senior clinical leadership, helped to build new neuro services, and developed virtual rehabilitation pathways. I'm Bobath trained and a member of ACPIN, and I stay closely involved in current best practice.
Every person I see gets a thorough assessment and a treatment plan built around their own goals, whether that's walking to the shops, getting back to a hobby, or simply managing everyday tasks with less effort.
With home-based sessions, you get one-to-one care in a familiar environment, with support that carries on as your needs change. I'm also happy to work alongside your family, carers and wider care team, and to provide clear, detailed reports for case managers and insurers when needed.
My aim is always the same: to help you move better, do more for yourself, and feel supported at every step.
What we offer
Living with a neurological condition affects far more than movement. It shapes your confidence, your routines and your independence, and that's why I believe rehabilitation works best at home, in the place where life actually happens.
Thorough assessment of symptoms and current abilities to then build and implement an individualised programme to assist in your rehabilitation. Including those any stage post Stroke, Traumatic brain injury, Parkinsons, MS, GBS, ME, FND and many more.
After a detailed assessment, using standardised outcome measures, we can establish how significant your falls risk is. From there, we'll work together to reduce it through expert education and a personalised programme to improve your strength and balance.
Through listening to your concerns and completing a hands on assessment we can create a targeted exercise programme to allow you to continue your therapy after we leave
Where appropriate, we can draw on a range of hands-on techniques, including manual resistance, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF), massage, mobilisation and key point facilitation. These techniques can help guide correct movement patterns and make repetitive practice easier, which is important for motor re-learning during rehabilitation.
Areas we cover:
-
Romford
-
Hornchurch
-
Upminster
-
Ingatestone
-
Brentwood
-
And surrounding areas
How sessions work

The initial assessment consists of a comprehensive neurological evaluation covering your diagnosis, symptoms and medical history followed by a thorough physical assessment concentrating on the following areas:
-
Posture
-
Strength
-
Sensation
-
Coordination
-
Muscle length and tone
-
Movement patterns

Follow up sessions
After your initial assessment, we'll sit down together and create a treatment plan built around your goals, whether that's walking more confidently, improving balance, regaining movement in an arm or hand, or managing daily tasks more easily
Follow-up sessions are offered at 60 or 90 minutes, depending on your fully assessed needs.
Your plan stays flexible: we'll review your progress regularly and adapt your sessions whenever your needs or goals change.
