“Presuming that a nonspeaking child has nothing to say is like presuming that an adult without a car has nowhere to go.”
― Ellen Notbohm, Ten Things Every Child with Autism Wishes You Knew
About me
Based in the West Midlands, I am a fully qualified Speech and Language Therapist having received my degree from Cardiff Metropolitan University. I am a fully certified member of the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists (RCSLT) and registered with the Health Care Professions Council (HCPC) and Association of Speech and Language Therapists in Independent Practice (ASLTIP). Since gaining my qualification I have had the opportunity to gain experience working with a range of children and young people with varying needs across a variety of settings, including educational settings, community settings, client homes, clinics, and hospital settings. I have experience working with a range of age groups, from pre-school through adolescence, as well as a variety of communication needs, from mild developmental delays to profound and multiple learning disabilities. I have a specialisation in working with children and young people with complex needs, as well as individuals with social, emotional, and mental health difficulties. I am passionate about interaction focused and client-centred approaches to care and believe in the importance of a holistic approach, taking into consideration the wider context around each individual client. My therapeutic approach is tailored to the individual needs of each client and working closely alongside families to provide comprehensive support, advice, and input. I am continually developing my clinical skills through ongoing professional development and learning, and am committed to providing the best possible care for my clients and their families.
Choosing the right Speech and Language Therapist.
Speech, language, and communication therapy is a very personal journey for both the child undergoing therapy and their family, so it is important that you find the right therapist. Therapy is a collaborative process and the only way to achieve the best possible outcomes is by working together, so if you are uncomfortable with your therapist or do not feel they are the best fit, it's okay to make a change.
When coming into speech and language therapy services it can be useful to think about your goals for therapy and what supports you feel could be put in place to allow for a successful therapeutic partnership.
When working with new clients, and their families, I like to take some time to get to know each other and find the best way to work together moving forward. I won't be the right therapist for every client and, if that is the case, I will support you to successfully move forward with your therapeutic journey in any way that I can.
