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 taking on some new clients from September. I will be available for home & school visits in Dublin. If this is something you are interested in please email me with some brief information about your child and where you are based. Availability will depend on location. Available for online sessions if appropriate for the child and family’s needs. In-person sessions available Mon – Thurs.
