Hi, I’m Mel. Since qualifying as a Speech and Language Therapist in 2001, I’ve specialised in working with adults who have acquired communication and swallowing difficulties. I understand just how profoundly these challenges can impact day-to-day life and relationships, often leading to frustration and isolation.

That’s why I take a person-centred approach—working closely with clients and those important to them, focusing on what truly matters in their lives to help them make the most of their situation.

Over the past 15 years, I’ve held lead roles in NHS tertiary neurosciences centres, where I’ve developed extensive experience in both common and complex conditions and have trained others in this field.

I believe that no two individuals are the same. I draw on the latest evidence to provide highly specialist assessment and tailored therapy that is both effective and meaningful to each person I work with.
