I take a "whole child" approach which covers speech, language, communication and sensory needs, and work in partnership with parents and carers.  Working in this way can enhance the parent child relationship and reduce the frustration which may occur when communication is difficult. I work closely with school staff to embed these principles and gain further progress. 

I am also qualified to run training courses for early years teaching staff working with children with speech, language and communication needs. 

My approach:

  • More than 30 years experience in both NHS and private practice
  • Independent Speech and Language Therapy to fit around family life, tailored for each child
  • Additional training and experience: Baby Massage, Parent/child communication, Stammering, Dyslexia, Elklan training
  • Supporting parents in understanding their child's needs
  • Fun and playful programmes for each individual child 
  • Flexible visiting at homes, nurseries, schools or other settings
  • Covering most areas in west Kent and East Sussex
