Therapy Services

I strongly believe that the key to successful effective therapy is when the therapist and the parent work in partnership.  We know that the parent is the best expert when it comes to their child.  My aim is to equip parents and caregivers with the skills and strategies to develop their child or young person's speech and language in day to day life.  Progress is closely monitored in partnership with your family and other professionals who work with you and sessions can be recorded.  This enables parents or caregiver's to re watch, share with other family members or know what has happened in a school session.

• Weekly, fortnightly, monthly or ad hoc sessions are offered where your family is supported to develop your child or young person's language skills so that you can use the techniques at home.
• Through play, or areas of interest I  work to enable your child or young person  to think, listen and talk, and to improve your child’s confidence and social skills. A strong basis in listening provides a solid foundation for the skills needed for supporting literacy skills. 
• The programme is designed for your child or young person and their needs. Sessions can happen individually with family members or in school with any members of your child or young person's team.
• I encourage you to share learning with other family members.   I am eager to work closely with other professionals supporting your child, such as nursery or school teachers.

The Parent Partnership Programme is unique in that it is designed to equip you, the parent, with the tools and strategies that you need to develop and accelerate your child or young person’s communication and confidence in day to day life.

Please contact me to arrange a free 30 minute consultation to discuss your child or young person's individual needs.

For those living further away I offer bespoke teletherapy sessions where I guide and coach you in specific strategies in your home to develop your child or young person's listening and communication skills.

Are you a busy parent looking to support your child's listening and spoken language skills? I understand that attending in-person sessions can be challenging due to your hectic schedule. That's why I have designed a new Video Guidance SLT Sessions just for you!

Send me a 10-15 minute video of your child's interactions and activities. I will carefully analyse the video, providing you with personalised diagnostic feedback tailored to your child's unique needs.

I will guide you through the next steps to enhance your child's communication skills. I will offer practical suggestions on how to incorporate targeted techniques into everyday activities and routines. From mealtime conversations to playtime adventures, I will show you how to seamlessly integrate language stimulation techniques that will make a significant impact.

I am happy to visit your child or young person at school, nursery or college, observe them during learning time and at free play/breaktime with their peers.  This can provide a functional insight into your child's specific needs and mean that feedback and goals can be tailored towards supporting your child in their education setting.  Visit includes feedback to parents and school/nursery staff and a written report with recommendations and goals.
