About my practice

Areas of speciality and interest include working with autistic and other neuro-divergent children. I provide support for minimally/non-speaking children and for those who communicate using ‘echolalia’ i.e. Gestalt Language Processors. I draw upon a variety of methods that I have studied including DIR Floortime, Hanen More Than Words, Meaningful Speech Course and others. The approach that we take in therapy is always tailored to the individual needs of the client and family. Sessions are play based and prioritise the child’s interests, physical and sensory needs. Therapy also typically includes parent/teacher coaching.

Availability: I will be resuming in-person sessions in January 2025. I am available for online advice sessions from October to December. Please send me an email if you are interested 🙂
