Supporting children’s speech, language and communication

Speech and language therapy services for children, young people, and the adults around them.

Better communication, together

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, and equip them with strategies that make a positive difference, and help families feel more optimistic, calmer and more confident.
