I am an experienced Speech and Language Therapist with over 17 years of experience working with children of all ages, both in the NHS and in private practice.  I am based in the Ashdown Forest area, and am able to see children up to 19 years of age in the towns of East Grinstead, Crowborough, Haywards Heath, Uckfield, Lewes and their surrounding villages.  

 

I am passionate about providing a service to support children and young people to develop their speech, language and communication skills to the best of their ability.  I can provide assessment, advice and therapy sessions for children with a range of speech, language and communication difficulties: 

• Listening and attention

• Late to start talking

• Speech sounds

• Understanding of spoken language (receptive language)

• Speaking and structuring sentences (expressive language)

• Processing language and auditory memory

• Stammering and dysfluency

• Social communication and interaction

• Children who require Augmentative and Alternative Communication systems

I have extensive experience of working with children with more complex needs, including those with Autistic spectrum Disorder (ASD), Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, and profound and multiple learning difficulties.

 

I am a certified member of Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists (RCLT) and Association of Speech and Language Therapists in Independent Practice (ASLTIP).
