I’m a Specialist Speech and Language Therapist supporting adults following brain injury. I work with private clients and case-managed referrals, offering therapy online and across the East Midlands, alongside clinical supervision.

I specialise in assessment, therapy and training for cognitive-communication disorders, aphasia and apraxia. My approach is practical, thoughtful and creative, using music and personalised digital tools to make therapy meaningful and relevant to everyday life, supporting independence and participation.

Alongside clinical work, I’ve contributed to service development, delivered professional training, been involved in computer-based research, designed a rehabilitation computer café, collaborated with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra on a music-based rehabilitation project, and developed an online Intensive Comprehensive Aphasia Programme (ICAP).

My aim is to support people to communicate authentically, rediscover their strengths and move forward with confidence — in their own words, at their own pace.
