I am a highly specialist Speech and Language Therapist with over 11 years’ experience working with children and young people within the paediatric population, including those with complex communication needs. My clinical experience spans a wide range of settings including community clinics, mainstream and specialist schools and youth offending services, providing me with a thorough understanding of how communication difficulties present across different environments and impact education, behaviour and life outcomes.

I conduct comprehensive Speech and Language Therapy assessments and adopt a holistic, child-centred approach considering cognitive, emotional, social and environmental factors in my assessments. I identify strengths and areas of need and convert clinical findings into clear, evidence-based recommendations that support children and young people to reach their full potential.

I have extensive experience in preparing high quality written reports for legal purposes, including Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs) and reports for criminal and family court proceedings. My reports are clear, objective and grounded in clinical evidence. I am skilled in presenting complex clinical information in a way that is accessible and useful to solicitors, courts and professionals.

I am registered with the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists (RCSLT) and the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and work in accordance with their professional and ethical standards.
