Speech therapy services for children in Sussex

Speech and language therapy services

Practical, evidence-based support for children's communication

Speech sound therapy

Some children find it tricky to pronounce certain sounds, blend them into words, or make themselves understood.

Speech sound therapy helps children develop clearer, more confident speech using playful, evidence-based approaches that build accuracy, awareness and self-belief.

I share simple strategies with families and/or school staff so progress continues between sessions.

Language therapy

Some children find it harder to understand language, organise their ideas, or express themselves in the way they intend.

Therapy builds understanding, vocabulary, grammar and narrative skills so children can learn, join in and share what they think and know.

We work on real-life communication, so skills can transfer into everyday conversations, learning and friendships.

Social communication

Some children find it challenging to read social cues, take turns in conversation, or understand different perspectives.

Therapy supports interaction, flexible thinking and self advocacy, while respecting each child's communication identity and preferences.

Together we explore tools, language and strategies that help children connect in ways that feel comfortable, confident and true to who they are.

Childhood apraxia of speech (CAS)

Some children know what they want to say, but forming the speech movements for words takes more effort and doesn't always come out the way they expect.

Therapy focuses on motor planning: helping children build the movement patterns needed for speech through structured, supportive practice.

Families and schools learn how to support carryover between sessions, so new speech skills grow in real-life situations.

Training and workshops

I offer practical, evidence-based training that helps schools and early years settings create communication-supportive environments.

Sessions are tailored to the needs of your team and can focus on speech sound development, language, social communication or AAC.

Workshops are designed to be usable the next day. Not just interesting information but real strategies that make a difference.
