Joanne Gillham

I am a highly experienced Nursing Associate with over a decade of experience supporting individuals and families within mental health and neurodevelopmental services. I combine strong clinical expertise with lived experience of autism and ADHD, enabling a compassionate, informed, and person-centred approach.

 

At Autism Detect, I deliver autism screening appointments in a calm and supportive manner, helping individuals feel at ease. Particularly those who may feel anxious or overwhelmed. I am skilled in attentive listening, asking meaningful questions, and identifying subtle neurodevelopmental traits, ensuring thorough and respectful screenings.

Working closely with the wider clinical team, I contribute to high-quality, consistent screening outcomes and clear next-step recommendations. I am passionate about improving access to accurate identification and supporting individuals to understand their experiences with clarity, reassurance, and confidence.
