I teach parents how to confidently develop their children's communication & language skills.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! It is an honour working with the amazing families that I do, and your positive feedback really means so much to me 🤗
I don't want to sound full of myself, but I am so proud to have created something that has helped children to develop and grow their communication skills. 🩷

1 - We have to create the kind of society we want to live in. What does it say about us that children are struggling to access the minimum level of support they need?
2 - Parents and carers of SEN children are doing it all. Educating themselves about their child’s needs, learning how to support them through sensory diets, regulating activities and experiences, administering medications, monitoring their response to medications to made the necessary adaptations, advocating for their children, taking them to their appointments, often home schooling, learning new ways to communicate, how to fold a wheelchair into the boot of the car etc etc. The list is endless and it doesn’t stop.
If these parents and carers are pushed to breaking point because they now also need to become lawyers to get even a basic level of support for their children, who is going to pick up the slack? It would be much, much cheaper to support these parents BEFORE they reach crisis point.
3 - There are so many problems in the world like climate change and we need people who can ‘think outside of the box’ to help us solve them. Maybe someone who can focus on one tiny detail to an extraordinary level will be the person who invents the machine that can clean up the ocean? Who knows? But it would be a crying shame if that person never got the education they needed because we can’t fund some adaptations and access to specialists when required.
4- Yup, I said it. It’s the right thing to do. I’m not, for a second, advocating that we aren’t careful with public funds but let’s be honest. Parents and carers of children with SEN aren’t asking for hydrotherapy pools to be built in their gardens or live in Nanny’s. They’re asking to see a Speech and Language Therapist once in a while or to be in a school that’s able to meet their needs.

POV: you're a Speech & Language Therapist who regularly reassures families that they don't need to worry about everything they see on social media.
And I hope it's really clear, I'm not trying to suggest that it would be absolutely terrible if my child had a diagnosis of any of the things I've mentioned, I'm trying to highlight how looking at a list alone reduces the complexities of us human beings and I could therefore have arrived at numerous diagnoses which would be inaccurate.
I love walking beside you, it's an honour to be included in your journey 🩷

Has your child ever surprised you with their communication?
29/06/2026
Many parents arrive feeling nervous because they're picturing something formal, clinical or overwhelming.
The reality is often much more playful than people expect.
Young children learn through relationships, play and meaningful interactions. That's why speech therapy for little ones is usually built around activities they genuinely enjoy.
The toys aren't the therapy.
The interaction is.
What did you imagine speech therapy looked like before you knew more about it? 👇
Language grows in the thousands of tiny interactions that happen every day. The game that gets a bit silly. The book they ask to read for the tenth time. The conversation about a worm they've found in the garden. The smile when somebody understands what they're trying to say.
These moments might seem small, but they're the foundations of communication.
As a Speech and Language Therapist, that's what I get to be part of every day. Not just teaching words, but helping children build the confidence, connection and communication skills that allow them to share their ideas with the world.
Perhaps that's why, in a world that is becoming increasingly digital, genuine connection feels more valuable than ever.
Because communication isn't built by technology.
It's built between people. 💛
After 16 years as a Speech and Language Therapist, I've learned that if a child isn't interested, not much else matters.
That's why you'll find all sorts in my therapy room. Toys, games, sensory activities, foil blankets and often a few things that probably look completely unrelated to speech and language therapy.
They're not there by accident.
They're there because children learn best when they're engaged, having fun and wanting to be part of what's happening.
The best sessions rarely feel like hard work. They feel like playing a game, sharing a joke, being curious and connecting with another person.
That's where some of the best communication happens. 💛
Trust your instinct 🩷
There is never any harm in asking for support and advice when your gut is telling you that something might be not quite right or that your child might need some extra support with their communication.
Best case scenario: The SLT can provide the advice and support your child needs.
Worst case scenario: They reassure you that everything is fine and you don't need an assessment.
I promise you. You didn't waste any one's time and you won't be charged for something you don't need.
A speech and language therapist will never push you to book an assessment when it isn't needed. But we are here to help you judge whether 'waiting' is the best approach. Because we know it can feel hard to make that decision alone 🌸
