An initial consultation includes a detailed discussion about your concerns, medical history, developmental background and current challenges. I complete a thorough assessment tailored to the client’s needs - this may involve observing feeding and swallowing, evaluating speech and language skills, or assessing communication after a neurological event. After the assessment, I provide feedback, explain the findings, and discuss a personalised therapy plan and recommendations for next steps.

A follow-up consultation focuses on ongoing therapy and progress. Each session builds on the goals set during the initial consultation and includes targeted activities, exercises and appropriate evidence-based treatment strategies suited to the client’s needs. I monitor progress, adjust goals when necessary, provide feedback, and offer guidance for support at home or in daily routines.
