Hello! I’m a Speech and Language Therapist with over eight years of experience supporting children and young people with a wide range of speech, language and communication needs.

I began my career within the NHS, where I gained experience across a variety of paediatric specialties. In 2022, I moved into fully independent practice, allowing me to provide flexible and individualised support that is shaped around each child and their family, without the restrictions of referral criteria or lengthy waiting times.

My practice is neurodiversity-affirming, person-centred and family-centred. I believe every child deserves to feel heard, understood and valued, and I tailor my approach to each child’s individual strengths, needs and way of communicating.

I support autistic children and young people, minimally speaking and non-speaking children, children with speech and language differences, and children who stammer. I also have postgraduate training and experience in supporting children with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs, attachment and trauma.

I take time to understand the whole child — their strengths, interests, relationships, sensory and emotional needs, environment and preferred ways of communicating. Rather than focusing on changing a child to fit expectations, I aim to understand what their communication is telling us and consider how the people and environments around them can better support their communication, participation and wellbeing.

Working collaboratively with families is central to my approach. I also work closely with early years settings, schools and other professionals to help create environments where children feel safe, understood and able to communicate authentically.

I am a member of the Association of Speech and Language Therapists in Independent Practice (ASLTIP) and the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists (RCSLT). I am registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and hold an enhanced DBS certificate.

Above all, I want the children and young people I work with to feel accepted for who they are and confident that their communication matters. My role is to understand each child’s individual way of communicating, build on their strengths and work alongside the people around them to make communication more accessible, meaningful and enjoyable.

I warmly welcome enquiries from families who would like a friendly and confidential conversation about how I may be able to support their child.
