I am a Specialist Speech and Language therapist in the area of paediatrics. I am the owner of A Hand to Talk Makaton and Speech Therapy NI.

I gained a wealth of experience working in schools and community teams in The NHS from 2007 to 2021. My role included leading an SLT team within a Special School setting.

I am also a certified Makaton Tutor and run regular training sessions for private groups and individuals. As a mother of 3, I understand the concerns that parents have when children their children’s speech does not develop as expected. I am passionate about early intervention and strive to make my sessions play based and fun for all involved.

I am based in Lisburn, just one mile from The Saintfield Roundabout M1 exit.
