About Speech Therapy
What is speech therapy?
Speech and language therapy (SALT) supports children and young people who are finding communication harder than expected. That might mean speech that’s difficult to understand, trouble finding words or following conversations, differences in how they interact socially, or needing a different way to communicate altogether.
Referrals
You can refer your child directly without going through a GP or school. If you’re not sure whether therapy is the right step, an initial consultation is a low-commitment way to talk it through.
Sessions
I work with children and young people aged 4–16. Sessions are shaped around what works for your child — their age, their interests, how they communicate, and what we’re working towards. For younger children that usually means play and activities, often with a parent or carer involved. For teenagers, it tends to be more direct, and driven by what matters to them.

Â
I work closely with families and schools throughout, because what happens outside sessions matters just as much as what happens in them.
Location
Sessions take place at home, in school, or online — whichever suits your child and your family best. A few clinic sessions may also be available.
