ABOUT LUCY

I’ve been a speech and language therapist for 11 years. I love my job and find working with children with speech, language and communication needs to be constantly challenging and rewarding.

I work with children and young people from the ages of 3-17, in their own home or school. I am experienced in working with children with a range of speech, language and communication needs (see below).I have a special clinical interest in Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD).

My training includes SCERTS, Natural Languge Processing (NLP), PECS, Intensive Interaction, Makaton, Attention Autism, Social Thinking, Shape Coding and Lego Therapy. I have a Postgraduate Diploma in Speech and Language Therapy from City University, London. I am registered with RCSLT, HCPC and ASLTIP.

I am passionate about creating therapy solutions that are tailored to the individual needs of each child. I enjoy getting to know each child I work with, establishing a rapport and working collaboratively with them and with families to set priority areas for therapy.
