A fully qualified speech and language therapist with over 30 years’ experience.
My Main Strategies
I am passionate about speech therapy and have always believed in early intervention. There is so much of the latest research which reports that interaction with your baby from the start is the key aspect that develops brain connections upon which to build language . This is most prevalent under 3 years .

- The Hanen' It takes two to talk' evidence-based strategies to work with speech and language delays. This can be taught to parents individually or on a group basis.
- I am trained in the Hanen, evidence based strategies for Target word adding further strategies specific to expressive language delay and phonological difficulties
- I am trained in Hanen 'More than words' designed to promote communicative strategies for autistic spectrum disorder and pervasive language disorders.
