Lynsey Atkinson

Member since: 16/06/2016

I have over 18 years’ experience working with pre-school and primary-aged children, working for the NHS and Local Authorities before starting independent practice.

I’m passionate about supporting communication in a neurodiversity-affirming way, celebrating each child’s unique strengths and fostering environments where they can thrive. The most effective therapy takes place when we work together to combine my knowledge of Speech and Language with your knowledge of your child. Therapy programmes will always be child-centred because learning is most effective when it’s motivating and fun.

My clinical interests include autism, Gestalt Language Processing, and speech sound disorders.

My approach is child-led, respectful, and rooted in connection.

Alongside clinical work, I offer supervision to other therapists. My lived experience of neurodivergence allows me to provide a supportive and empathetic space—particularly for neurodivergent therapists—to reflect, grow, and feel understood. (Training includes In-Tandem Level 3 and SFBT)
