Member since: 18/07/2023

I am an experienced Speech and Language Therapist working flexibly across the age range—from early years to adulthood. Since qualifying from City University in 2008, I have worked in a wide variety of settings, including acute hospitals, rehabilitation units, schools, colleges, and clients’ homes.

I have held a number of leadership roles, including Professional Lead for Adult SLT, where I supported clinical governance and service development. My varied experience has given me a strong foundation of transferable skills and the ability to think creatively when planning and delivering therapy.

I have clinical expertise in dysphagia, acquired and developmental speech and language needs, and AAC (augmentative and alternative communication). I take a neurodiversity-affirming, person-centred approach that celebrates individual strengths and adapts flexibly to each client’s context and goals.

Currently, I work with both children and adults across educational and community settings, offering personalised, responsive support that draws on a rich and diverse clinical background.
