Speech & Language Therapy

Some parents choose to access just independent therapy whilst others like to use it to supplement NHS therapy. I am always happy to liaise with NHS therapists to ensure a consistent therapy approach for your child.
As an independent speech and language therapist I am able to offer you the benefits that accessing independent therapy brings:

Short or no waiting list for assessment
Regular therapy which starts promptly after assessment
1:1 appointments tailored to your child’s needs
Active involvement of parents in the therapy decision making process and therapy activities
Time to discuss your concerns, answer your queries and ensure that you feel confident to fully support your child
Appointments in a setting where your child feels comfortable(home/school/pre-school) and therefore performs to the best of their ability
Tailored homework activities plus the opportunity to contact me between sessions should you have any queries about implementing homework

I work with children aged approximately 2 years to 10 years with a variety of speech, language and communication difficulties including:

Speech sound difficulties (unclear speech):

phonology / phonological delays and disorders
articulation difficulties
Childhood apraxia of speech

Language delays and disorders

I have a special interest in early intervention and preventative intervention. The following link takes you to an article I have had published regarding my work in this field http://www.speechmag.com/content/files/SALTiPSpr08NBrooke.pdf
