Hi there! I’m Kate, and I love being a Speech and Language Therapist.

I graduated from university with a degree (a BSc) in Speech and Language Therapy in 2009 and I have over 16 years of clinical experience working with children and their families.

I pride myself on my dynamic, family centred-approach and my ability to work alongside others to produce the best possible outcomes for the children on my caseload. My ethos is that we are a team, guided by my expertise when needed, working together to help your child meet their communication potential.

I purposefully offer a flexible, tailor made service for each family so that your child can get the support they need, in a timely way, to flourish.

I have experience working with children with a range of Speech, Language and Communication Needs (SLCN) including speech sound difficulties, language delays (sometimes referred to as Developmental Language Disorder), Autism, Down Syndrome and stammering.
