I’m a Specialist Speech and Language Therapist supporting adults after brain injury. I work with both private clients and case-managed referrals, offering therapy online and across the East Midlands.

I specialise in cognitive-communication disorders, aphasia, apraxia, and swallowing difficulties. I take a practical, thoughtful and creative approach to therapy, often using music and personalised digital tools to make sessions engaging and meaningful, helping people regain independence and enjoy everyday life.

I’ve also been involved in projects such as workshops on language and swallowing, developing a SLT Service, computer-based research, designed a rehabilitation computer café, a music-based rehabilitation project with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, and an online ICAP (Intensive Comprehensive Aphasia Program).

I currently work in partnership with Linguistic Resolutions, delivering specialist therapy for adults with acquired neurological conditions. My aim is to help people communicate authentically, rediscover their strengths, and move forward with confidence — in their own words, at their own pace.
