I am a qualified and experienced Independent Speech and Language Therapist with 14 years’ experience working with children across a range of paediatric settings. I specialise in assessing and supporting children with speech, language and communication needs, working closely with families and education staff to provide individualised, strengths-based support.

I have specialist experience in early language development and autism, and can offer comprehensive assessments and tailored therapy programmes for a wide range of needs, including speech sound difficulties, phonological delay, learning disability, emotional literacy, and high-tech augmentative and alternative communication (AAC).

I provide therapy and consultation within home, school and nursery settings, aiming to create supportive, functional communication opportunities within a child’s everyday environment.
