Speech and Language Therapist

I’ve been working as a Speech and Language Therapist since 2009, within the NHS and independent practice.  I feel honoured to work with early years and school-aged children, as the ability to communicate is such a fundamental life skill.  I love empowering parents and other professionals, giving them the confidence and skills to best support speech, language and communication needs.  I am continually learning as a therapist and support neurodiversity affirming practice.

 My favourite word is “pebbles” as I associate it with calmness and nature. The uniqueness of each  pebble reminds me of how, as humans, we all have differences, for example, in the we think, learn, process and perceive information.

Special Interests:

• Early years/primary school speech and language difficulties

• Early social communication difficulties/Autism

• Gestalt Language Processing

• Early childhood stammering
