Member since: 15/02/2022

I am a Highly Specialist Speech and Language Therapist with 17 years of experience of working within the NHS and recently within independent practice. I have worked in a variety of settings including clinics, early years settings, primary/secondary mainstream schools and family homes in London and Hertfordshire.
I have extensive experience working with children aged 18 months – 18 years with a range of communication needs including: Language Delay, Developmental Language Disorder, Speech Sound Delay/Disorder, Developmental Verbal Dyspraxia, Stammering, Selective Mutism, Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, Learning Difficulties including Global Delay and Autism.
I am passionate about supporting children to achieve their potential and be confident communicators, by working closely with communication partners to support children’s communication skills in their everyday communicative environments.
I offer assessment and therapy in a child’s home, nursery or school. I can also offer sessions via telehealth.
