Hello I am based in Eastbourne.  I have over 20 years experience working in NHS, academic and third sector settings. I specialise in adults living with acquired communication difficulties (aphasia, dysarthria and or apraxia) after brain injury. 

I believe that life does not have to stop when a communication difficulty starts and that therapy is a collaborative effort between me and the people I work with. I am also believe good communication is everyones’ responsibility. We all need to know how to make conversations work when someone has a communication difficulty.

I offer a range of therapies, but my specialism is Communication Partner Training (CPT). CPT focuses on honing conversations of you and your partner/friend to make conversations more enjoyable together.

I bring my knowledge about therapies and the evidence base and you bring your life experience and wishes and between us we can produce a therapy that is right for you.
