About me...

My Story

I have experience working with children and young people from 1-16 years old who have a wide variety of speech, language and communication needs and have been based in NHS community clinics, hospitals and independent specialist schools. I currently work in an NHS children’s hospital providing neurorehabilitation to children and young people following a brain injury.

I am passionate about helping children and young people to communicate, whether that be using words and/or an alternative communication system. I am here to support you and your child through that journey.

I use child centred, inclusive and play-based approaches during my assessments and therapy sessions which can be adapted for each individual.
