Over fifty years of experience working with children 18mths. to 18yrs. within the NHS initially in clinics, mainstream and special schools, and from 1994 as an independent practitioner within ASLTIP. I gained an Honours Degree in Psychology in 1990 and within the remit of RCSLT, ASLTIP and BPS comply with each of their codes of conduct and continuing professional development. I ran my own independent clinic from 1994 to 2019 and also worked in two local independent schools. Having recently retired from those schools I now run a small domiciliary service offering consultations and advice and some ongoing therapy for a small group of clients.
