My Specialisms

STAMMERING:
Specialist skills in assisting stammerers to improve their fluency. I developed the programme Stammer Less www.stammerless.co.uk a unique programme to find your fluent self.
I work with all ages. Preschool to any age including teens and adults.

PAEDIATRIC SLT: Over 30 years of experience to bring to all speech and language difficulties in children.

VOICE:
Specialist therapy for adults, teens and children who have lost their voice or are having difficulties keeping a strong or consistent voice. Professional voice users e.g. teachers, actors, singers and phone operators plus children and teens can sometimes have voice difficulties and I can help you to full voice recovery.

Approach to Speech Therapy & How I Work

Approach: There are core principles I bring to every specialism. Building a good relationship is an essential. Together we identify issues that need to be solved. Where appropriate I lead the way using my expertise. You will always know what we are doing and why. Then we go on the journey together. Open and friendly and always supportive to achieve the agreed aims of sessions.

Practical aspects - I use internet calls for many aspects of my stammering work, saving you time and travel. Some issues require face to face work and I will let you know if this is required. For all voice and speech language difficulties I will want to meet for face to face therapy.
