ABOUT

ABOUT ME

I'm a dedicated and empathic therapist with 8 years experience working with adults and children with a range of speech, language and communication needs. I currently work with primary age and early years children. My areas of specialism are speech sound disorders and language delays/disorders. I am committed to my own continuing professional development.

As a sensitive person myself I am passionate about supporting the wellbeing and self-understanding of children and adults, both at school and in the workplace. I am neurodivergent and I support neurodiversity-affirming practices. I do not support any practices that encourage the hiding or 'masking' of neurodivergent traits. 

EXPERIENCE

I've worked in both NHS and Independent settings as a Speech & Language Therapist. I have worked in Early Years clinics and mainstream schools. My experience includes providing assessments, parent coaching, and training schools on a range of speech and language topics. I am also currently working within an Autism diagnostic team.
