About my practice

I am a senior speech and language therapist with extensive experience working with adults and children in the primary care setting.

I have a particular interest in working with adults. I offer out reach services to nursing homes and home visits. I am available for SLT assessments and therapy with adults who have acquired disorders of speech, language, voice or swallow following neurological related issues e.g. stroke, Parkinson’s Disease, MS and dementia. I also offer training to staff and family carers in the areas of dysphagia and communication.

I also work with children who have language disorders and speech sound disorders.

I work with my clients to develop and achieve holistic person centered goals that have a positive impact on their daily lives.
