Specialist Speech and Language Therapist and Founder and Director of The Talking House. I provide expert Speech and Language Therapy support for toddlers through to young adults across Yorkshire. ​

After many years of working with children and young people in both the NHS, education and private sector, I set up The Talking House, my own independent practice, and began seeing children and their families privately. My aim is to use my experience, which now spans more than 35 years, to deliver family-focused, research-led best practice.

For every person that I works with, I am committed to providing the highest quality service with a personal touch. I approach everything I do with a drive and a passion to make a real difference to people’s lives. I pride myself on searching out and developing the best techniques to give a completely individual programme and work alongside other professionals to give a holistic approach.

My goal is to give as many people as possible the opportunity to reach their potential, be the best they can be and live life to the full. I strive to challenge the status quo and champion Speech and Language Therapy as a vital service; one that makes a real difference to the lives of children and young people with speech, language and communication needs.

The Talking House has had a few different addresses over the years, including my garden office! Our current home is in the beautiful village of Boston Spa, just outside Wetherby.
