About Me.

Mission Statement

“I made it my mission to start this service after witnessing the struggles many parents have to go through to gain access to quality Speech and Language therapy.

Typically, there are long waiting lists, short therapy blocks and therapy that is often not even carried out by the therapist themselves. This makes what is already a daunting experience for a parent, turn into something painful and frustrating.

I am aware of how important it is for a parent to see a consistent familiar face, to feel reassured that their child receives bespoke personalised targets and care plans, to come across a willingness from the therapist to engage with all those who are involved with their child and lastly, to have access to other parents who share similar experiences.”

“For this reason, I strive to bring these elements together to offer a service that is client centered, community driven, consistent, thorough and holistic’’.
