I’m a Specialist Speech and Language Therapist supporting children and young people with a range of communication needs.

I predominantly support children with:

– Expressive and receptive language difficulties

– Autism and social communication differences

– ADHD

– Social, emotional and mental health (SEMH)

I understand that seeking support can sometimes feel overwhelming. I want families to feel listened to, valued and supported, and I really believe that parents and carers know their child best. Your experiences and insights are an important part of understanding how I can help.

My approach is warm and person-centered. I enjoy getting to know each child and young person as an individual — their personality, interests, strengths and the ways they communicate best. I work collaboratively with children, young people, their families and their schools to build on their strengths, support their communication and help them feel more confident and understood in everyday life.
