Hello, I’m Vicky. I’m one of the specialist Speech and Language Therapists working for Speech Matters Speech Therapy. SMST is run by myself and my colleague, Sophia Riozzi. We have over 20 years combined experience in both communication and dysphagia (swallowing difficulties).

We work with adults and young people (11+) providing in-person consultations across the North West and remote consultations nationally.

My experience includes working with an adult caseload in acute hospitals, community teams and learning disability teams. I have extensive knowledge in a range of areas, including neurological conditions (Stroke, Parkinson’s, dementia), brain injury, stammering, learning disability, autism and developmental language disorder.

We are committed to working flexibly with you to provide affordable and accessible, highly specialist Speech and Language Therapy to help you achieve your communication and/or swallowing goals.

For further information take a look at our website: https://speechmatters.uk/

Alternatively, contact us on 07988 807889. We look forward to hearing from you!
