About 

Who I am

I qualified as a Speech and Language Therapist in 1988 with a degree in Linguistics and Language Pathology from the University of Reading. 

Since then I have worked in many different settings from nursery through to sixth form college; in special schools and mainstream schools; in NHS settings and in education.

I was previously Head of Therapies for four years at one of I CAN's outstanding specialist schools, and also worked for a number of years in their specialist assessment centre. More recently I have set up my own practice and work within local independent primary and secondary schools.
