About Me

I've been a paediatric Speech Therapist for 15 years. Over this time I have worked with children at home, in nursery, in schools and clinics. My passion is working with children and their families to support children using their play passions to support their communication needs. Most of my therapy is play based. I have found this is the most effective way to support children's attention, regulation and support connection, which means we can happily make progress. It ensures they enjoy therapy alongside developing skills. Learning through play has a huge research base and I have experienced this in my therapy session with efficient progression of new skills.

​

Over the years I have developed my own neurodiversity affirming therapy style. I have a book published called "Supporting Children’s Communication The Play Way: Neurodiversity-affirming, Connection-focused Speech and Language Strategies"
