ADHD Works
I am a London-based Auditory Verbal Therapist and Highly Specialist Speech and Language Therapist with over 20 years' experience supporting children, young people and their families. My clinical experience spans listening and spoken language, speech sounds, comprehension, play, executive functioning and social communication.
Since relocating from South Africa to the UK in 2006, I have worked across the NHS, charitable organisations and private practice, developing expertise across speech and language therapy, auditory verbal therapy, coaching and SEND advocacy.
I believe that parents are the experts on their children. Through play, meaningful activities and practical strategies, I work collaboratively with families to support their child's development and build confidence and independence.
Alongside my clinical work, I have trained and mentored professionals internationally and have represented families in SEND tribunals relating to school placements and EOTAS.
I also have additional training in medico-legal work and professional testimony.
I am also a qualified Executive and ADHD Coach, working online with teenagers and adults to develop individualised strategies that support them in everyday life. As a mother myself, I understand that supporting a child is not always straightforward, and I am passionate about helping parents recognise and build on their own strengths as part of the therapeutic process.
