I am a highly experienced therapist, having practiced for over 35 years. I work with pupils age 10 and above, helping them to develop higher-level English language, including creative writing, which are requirements for the school English language curriculum. I am certified to teach the Feuerstein Instrumental Enrichment programme for pupils who are struggling with abstract language and thinking. I have specialised in working with bilingual students and with children who are shy or reluctant to speak at school. I also provide coaching for both high school students and adults who are nervous about public speaking, and who want to develop persuasive communication skills for job interviews or in the workplace. I teach children to achieve legible handwriting using the Magic Link Handwriting method. I work gently and sensitively, always putting the client’s needs first, and I work to instil confidence in all my clients.
