Our process starts with a comprehensive initial assessment, typically lasting 60-90 minutes. This session includes gathering a full case history, conducting formal and informal assessments with your child, providing verbal feedback, and delivering a brief written report. In some circumstances more in-depth assessment or observation is necessary and this will be discussed with you

For older, primary school-aged children, I offer speech therapy sessions directly in the school setting during school hours. These sessions provide the opportunity to work with children in an environment where they spend much of their time, allowing for immediate practice and integration of skills. I stay in regular contact with parents, providing weekly updates on the child’s progress, and I collaborate closely with school staff to ensure that the skills developed in therapy carry over into the classroom.

For younger children, therapy is often more effective when provided in a familiar environment. I offer home-based sessions where children can work on communication skills in a setting that feels comfortable and safe. These sessions are designed to be engaging and tailored to the child's individual interests, making learning both enjoyable and effective. There is also close collaboration with parents.

Standard therapy sessions are 45 minutes long, including planning time and feedback for parents. For children with speech sound disorders, I also offer two 30-minute sessions per week, providing focused, consistent support to help them progress more quickly.

Collaboration is at the heart of my approach. I work closely with parents, providing advice and activities to reinforce skills at home. Therapy goals are set in partnership with parents and are regularly reviewed to meet each child’s evolving needs.
