I’m a Specialist Speech and Language Therapist with over 20 years of clinical experience based Devon and available for local home visits and online for consulting. I offer a friendly, professional service for families with children and young people with Social Emotional Mental Health needs, associated with communication or behaviour challenges, neurodivergence, trauma, attachment, adoption or fostering.

The foundation for communication development and social engagement rests on healthy emotional and relational systems within families/schools. This approach addresses underlying causes of common speech/language difficulties, as well as chronic conditions like social anxiety, low mood, controlling behaviours, and other social-emotional presentations/ASD/ADHD.

I’m passionate about our young people thriving, building healthy relationships, a sense of value and belonging. Working closely with parents and other professionals, we can better understand their emotional and attachment needs, and optimise their well-being and communicative potential. www.leadapproach.com
