Background

In 2005, I graduated from Leeds Metropolitan University with a BSc (Hons) degree in Clinical Communication Sciences. Since then, I have worked for the NHS in East London and specialise in working with younger children (up to 7 years).  I am a member of the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists (RCSLT), Health Profession Council (HPC) and The Association of Speech and Language Therapists in Private Practice (ASLTIP).

Experience

I am trained in a variety of effective Speech and Language Therapy methods, including Lidcombe Therapy for children who stammer and the latest approaches to helping children with Autistic Spectrum Disorder.

Practice

As well as working with individual families, I maintain links with local schools and nurseries to deliver staff training and therapy to individuals and groups of children.  I am passionate about helping families prevent as well as overcome communication difficulties and regularly talk to parents at local ante-natal, post-natal and pre-school groups about ways to maximise children’s communication skills.

My experience working within the NHS means that I can help parents/carers access the support they need.  As a parent of two young children myself, I am aware of some of the pressures and aim to provide an empathetic and flexible service.
