Helping children, young people and adults thrive through speech and language therapy, tutoring, collaboration and professional development.
As a dual-qualified Speech and Language Therapist and Teacher, I bring a unique, multi-faceted perspective to my work in education, therapy, and professional development. With a strong foundation in both teaching and clinical practice, I specialise in supporting children, young people and adults with a wide range of communication needs, from straightforward to more complex or hidden presentations.
My career has spanned classroom teaching, tutoring, headship, the NHS, the charitable sector and higher education, giving me a broad and practical understanding of how best to help learners thrive in different contexts. Whether working directly with children and young people to boost their skills and confidence, collaborating with parents, teachers or other professionals, or supporting colleagues through supervision, training and CPD, my approach is always strengths-based, collaborative, and needs-led.
I am passionate about helping those who find learning challenging. I believe the greatest impact comes from empowering others — whether learners themselves or the people who support them. Alongside my independent practice, I contribute to the training of both current and aspiring professionals, equipping them to make a difference in their fields.
