With over 20 years of specialist experience, I provide high-quality, goal-driven speech, language, and swallowing therapy for adults.

I bridge the gap between hospital discharge and community care, offering innovative, cost-effective rehabilitation that can stand alone or work seamlessly alongside ongoing NHS therapy.

Individuals & Families: I deliver compassionate, practical therapy after a stroke, brain injury, or brain tumour diagnosis, focusing on reclaiming communication, voice, and safe swallowing.

Case Managers: I provide expert rehabilitation for complex neurological cases. Through my association with The Speech Group, I provide advanced instrumental swallow diagnostics.

Legal: I act as an expert witness, preparing clinical reports.

Areas of Specialist Expertise:
Neurorehabilitation: Aphasia, cognitive communication, and motor speech disorders.

Complex Neurology: Persistent Disorders of Consciousness (PDOC) and tracheostomy management.

Advanced Swallowing Diagnostics: Highly credentialed in instrumental assessments, including FEES and Videofluoroscopy.

Whether you are a family looking for immediate support, or a professional seeking expert clinical input, I deliver evidence-based, patient centred care.
