I founded the Lancashire Speech Therapy Centre to provide evidence-based language-focused services for children with language delay, autism and developmental language disorder, and for adults with neurological disorders. I offer individual therapy, joint planning, online sessions, and Hanen parent groups from my base in Lostock Hall, Preston.

I am registered with RCSLT, ASLTIP and HCPC. My background includes nursing, an MSc in Speech and Languague therapy, an MSc. in Forensic Psychology, and clinical work in forensic psychology. I also hold qualifications in CBT. counselling, LSVT Loud and Hanen.

If you are facing financial difficulties, please do still get in contact and we can discuss options (such as remote therapy, use of apps/programmes to reduce direct SLT costs, 30 minute therapy sessions, etc.) I know having speech and language needs can significantly impact finances, and I believe you should still be able to access support where you need it.
