I am an advanced practitioner (highly specialist) speech and language therapist with interests in autism, DLD, and mental health across the lifespan. I provide medico-legal (expert witness) reports for families and on behalf of local authorities, as well as assessments of language, speech and social communication. My NHS work has included acting as the team lead for adolescence across children’s therapies in Greenwich, specialist CAMHS and adult mental health settings, working in mainstream schools and specialist provisions for autistic children and teenagers, and working in multidisciplinary autism assessment teams.
I can be commissioned directly by families or other agencies for assessment and advice, tribunal/EHCP needs advice, and some direct therapy.

I provide therapy for older children/teens and adults from The Practice Rooms Greenwich. I can see clients directly for fluency (stammering), apraxia of speech, developmental language disorder, or for neuro-affirming social communication support.
