I’m Vicky, Clinical Director and Highly Specialist Speech and Language Therapist at Speech Matters, an independent practice supporting adults and young people aged 11+ with communication and swallowing difficulties.

My specialisms include acquired brain injury, cognitive-communication difficulties, stammering, dysphagia, selective mutism, FND and AAC. Our experienced team offers assessment, diagnosis and evidence-based therapy, working closely with you, your family and your wider care team to create individualised treatment plans that maximise communication potential.

We provide in-person consultations across the North West — in homes, schools, clinics and private hospitals — and remote consultations nationally. We also have extensive experience in medicolegal and case-managed work, providing expert input for solicitors and case managers.

Visit https://speechmatters.uk/ to learn more, or contact us via ASLTIP or office@speechmatters.uk. We look forward to hearing from you.
