I’ve been working with children and their families for over 25 years, first as a primary school teacher, then as a speech and language therapist. I use my experiences from both classroom and clinic to enable me to work more effectively with other professionals.

My aim is to help children reach their full potential by working with the adults who know them best. When children are having difficulties with talking, understanding or other aspects of their communication development it can impact on how they feel about themselves, on family life, friendships and progress in school. I want to help parents, carers and teachers understand children’s needs, equipping them with strategies that make a positive difference.

Based in Durham, North East England, I can work across the region. I can also provide training and therapy online, to anyone with an internet connection! Please see my website for details of what I can offer.
