I have worked for NHS services for 17 years, specialising in working with children between one and 12 years of age.  For five years, in addition to working with a more general caseload, I have led a nursery unit for children with severe speech and language difficulties which was accredited by the communication charity I CAN (now Speech and Language UK).

I have also been a part of the multi-disciplinary team responsible for assessing and diagnosing children with social communication difficulties such as autistic spectrum disorders.

Since September 2016, I have worked as an independent Speech and Language Therapist. E3 Speech and Language Therapy is the name of my independent Speech and Language Therapy business. I personally deliver all services as part of this business.

I have a special interest in bilingualism. I can also offer appointments and therapy in German.

I am a member of the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists and registered with the Health and Care Professional Council. I am a member of ASLTIP, the Association of Speech and Language Therapists in Independent Practice.

I have an enhanced DBS certificate.
