Hello! I’m Emily – a Highly Specialist SLT with 10 years’ experience working both independently and in the NHS. My clinical specialisms include AAC, autism, and complex learning disabilities but I love working with children and young people with all kinds of different communication needs!

I therefore also provide high-quality assessment and interventions related to Developmental Language Disorder (DLD), speech sounds, stammering, ADHD and more. I can work flexibly to support you – this might mean utilising face-to-face therapy at home or in school as well as virtual therapy online.

I work closely with the National Autistic Society and wrote an article for them in 2023, which can be found here: www.autism.org.uk/advice-and-guidance/professional-practice/aug-alt-comm. I’ve presented at multiple national conferences and later this year, I’m scheduled to deliver some guest lectures to student SLTs at the University of Greenwich. I enjoy constantly developing my own knowledge and skills!

All enquiries are welcome!
