Her career began in London as a Complex Care Nanny, before moving into a lead role in a Brain Injury Rehabilitation Unit. Here, she worked closely with a wide range of Allied Health professionals to support individuals through tailored rehabilitation programmes. It was during this time that she developed a keen interest in the complexity and power of the human brain.

She later transitioned into education, spending several years in a Specialist SEND role. In this position, she identified specific learning needs, led speech, language, communication, and literacy focused interventions. Alongside this, she provided specialised training and guidance for both teaching staff and parents.

These experiences have strengthened her commitment to helping every individual receive the right support to  overcome their challenges. Her passion is to make learning accessible, positive, and empowering for all. Her focus is on making education effective, and a positive nurturing experience.

Based in Northamptonshire and the North West, Gilly supports families and schools across the UK.
