Sussex Speech Studio
Nurturing potential
For schools and professionals
Collaborative speech and language therapy that supports communication across the whole school day
Working together to support communication
I work closely with schools and other professionals to make communication support practical, consistent, and achievable in everyday settings.
My goal is to help every child communicate confidently, not just in the therapy room, but in the classroom, playground, and beyond.
That happens best when everyone who supports a child understands how communication works for them, and how to make small changes that make a big difference.
What I offer
I provide flexible, collaborative input for schools and settings, including:
• Assessment and therapy for individual pupils
• Classroom observation and staff coaching to embed strategies in real time
• Joint goal-setting and progress monitoring with teachers and SENDCos
• Targeted group sessions for speech, language, or social communication
• Bespoke training and workshops for staff teams
Training is always tailored to your setting’s needs and priorities.
My approach
Partnership is at the heart of my work. I aim to make speech and language support practical, inclusive, and sustainable within your existing routines.
I work collaboratively with staff, families, and other professionals to:
• Share clear, achievable strategies that can be used every day
• Build confidence in supporting communication across the curriculum
• Create a shared understanding of each child’s strengths and communication profile
Communication support is most effective when it’s part of daily teaching and learning, not an add-on. My role is to help make that possible.
Experience and background
I have over 20 years’ experience working across NHS services, mainstream and specialist schools, and independent practice, including several years as Clinical Lead for early communication and AAC in a private practice in Singapore.
My areas of expertise include:
• Speech sound and motor speech disorders (including CAS)
• Language and literacy development
• Social communication and pragmatic language
• AAC and early communication support
I regularly provide training, consultation, and joint working with teachers, therapists, and SENDCos to ensure communication support is cohesive and effective.
Common questions from schools
Do you offer school visits?
Yes, I can visit schools across Brighton & Hove and wider Sussex to observe pupils, carry out assessments, provide therapy or offer advice to staff.
​
Can you work alongside our existing NHS or LA speech therapist?
Absolutely. I often work jointly with NHS colleagues, and all reports can be shared with your wider team with parent consent.

Do you offer training for staff?
Yes, I provide bespoke workshops for teachers, teaching assistants, SENDCos, early years teams and specialist provisions. Training can be delivered on-site or online.

Yes, if the school has consent from the parent or carer. A written summary is always shared with families afterwards.
​
How do we arrange therapy for a pupil?
You can contact me directly or share my details with the family. I’ll always speak with parents first before starting any individual work.
​
Do you take referrals from schools for EHCP support?
Yes, I can assess, provide reports for EHCP applications or reviews, and deliver ongoing therapy if needed.
​
Are you insured and registered?
Yes, I am HCPC registered, fully insured, DBS checked and a full certified member of the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists. I also work in line with my Safeguarding & Professional Standards, which outline my commitment to safe, ethical, and professional practice.
