Mel has worked within the NHS across both preschool and school-age teams, supporting children with a broad range of speech, language, and communication needs. Her expertise includes attention and listening difficulties, speech sound delay/disorder, and autism, with a particular interest in Gestalt Language Processing.

Mel’s experience spans a variety of settings, including nurseries, children’s centres, mainstream schools, specialist language units, clinics, and family homes. This diverse background enables her to deliver personalised therapy that meets each child’s unique needs in the environments where they learn and thrive.

After taking time to raise her three children, Mel co-founded a Warwickshire-based charity supporting families with young children. Through this work, she began offering speech and language support to families and went on to lead ‘Peep’ child development groups.

Specialising in the preschool age group, Mel is passionate about early intervention. She feels privileged to be part of each child’s journey and supporting their development.
