Speech and Language Therapist
Hello, I’m a qualified Speech and Language Therapist with a passion for supporting children and families. I work with children across a range of ages and needs, including speech sound difficulties, autism (especially non-speaking or minimally speaking children), and those growing up in multilingual environments.
I hold a Master’s in Speech and Language Therapy from the University of Essex, and a second Master’s in Language and Communication Impairment in Children from the University of Sheffield. I currently deliver NHS services as part of a multidisciplinary team, supporting children in both clinic and school settings.
Before becoming a therapist, I worked as a language teacher, teaching Portuguese, French, and English as a foreign language. I'm also a mum of two boys, who inspire me every day and were the reason I chose this profession.
I believe in building strong, supportive relationships with families and tailoring therapy to each child’s unique strengths and needs.
Our philosophy
We believe that children thrive when their parents feel confident and empowered to support their development throughout everyday routines. Our approach is rooted in play-based, family-centered intervention, where your child’s strengths, interests, and individuality are always at the heart of what we do. We’re passionate about working alongside families and celebrating every step of progress—big or small—together.
