The Speech Doctor NI

Giving everyone a voice

I am passionate about supporting children to communicate better: fostering positive relationships with their family, friends, educators and others to help them reach their best potential. With compassion, collaboration and evidence-based approaches at the heart of everything I do, I help organisations through: research & consultancy; and by providing training and 1:1 coaching to support SLTs with continuing professional development.
