As a qualified and experienced Speech and Language Therapist, I am committed to giving people the best opportunity to build their communication skills. This is to enable individuals to reach their full potential.
I have worked as a SLT for 12 years, with 11 of these being in London working for the NHS. My work has been with children and young people across a range of settings including mainstream and Special Educational Needs (SEN) schools as well as Specialist Resource Provisions (SRPs). I have also worked extensively as part of a paediatric Multi-Disciplinary Team differentially diagnosing individuals with ASD.
In 2014 I was awarded the Sternberg award for Clinical Innovation. This is a Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists Honours award to acknowledge the achievements of therapists who have contributed outstanding services to speech and language therapy.
