Of course, I can't get it right every single time and sometimes a child just doesn't want to be here, they need to be somewhere else and there doesn't feel like there's loads me or their parent can do to help them stay.

But generally, this is my aim. I want your child to be content to be here and what's we've achieved that - then we can start working on communication.

It's not about refusing access to a favourite toy (never about that!) or trying to change the play - it's about providing the favourite play, creating a bond and providing opportunities to extend the play, if the child chooses.

Actually, in this session, we did move on - we did loads of painting! So not in the way I expected, but totally happy to do it and chat, chat, chat about colours. 🌈

This is 5!

Today marks five years since my first ever bit of paid work as an independent SLT. I was so nervous before that first assessment, texting my Uni mates for some reassurance.

Had a little party to celebrate with my family, it's been ace.

I hope it goes without saying that I hugely appreciate being here. It has always been an ambition of mine to work for myself and while it's not easy, I love it and I'm beyond thankful that you're here.

1 - first mugshot taken in Brockley park with our pals while I was building my website
2 - flowers from Husband to celebrate
3 - may have had a bit of wine
4 - party games decided upon by our 6 year old Games Master
5 - sister bought me a balloon and a canon, so we had to do this
6 - amazing food courtesy of
7 - ran 6 miles in the rain, wouldn't recommend
8 - beautiful flowers from to say a massive thank you to my Mother in Law who doubles up as my accountant for all her help in the past 5 years

Thank you thank you thank you for any but of support you've given me. The likes, shares, reviews, recommendations etc - they all mean the world and genuinely help my business thrive.

It's the 1st September, thoughts naturally turn to starting or returning to school and a change in seasons is in the air 🍂

September is always bittersweet for me; I'm so excited for the children on my caseload that are moving into school, but this year so many of them are going to specialist schools with in house Speech & Language Therapy and so are moving on to a new SLT 🥹

Which means, if you've been thinking about working with me, now is a great time to be in touch. Spaces are filling up, fast, but I do have capacity to work with a few more families whether you need ongoing support, an EHCP report, a report to go alongside your school application or something training for your setting.

And if you want to work with me but face to face sessions aren't going to work for you - because you can't find the time for regular sessions, are worried about the financial investment or want to be able to learn at your own pace - my online course is full of the the strategies and skills I teach all the families I work with to use, and that I use with my own children everyday.

Either use the 'contact me' form on my website (link in bio), send me a DM here or the best way to contact me is to email me kate@wecancommunikate.co.uk

I'm working for some of the summer holidays and have a few therapy or assessment slots left.

From September 2025 I will be increasing my time capacity and will be able to work with even more families.

✉️ Please don't hesitate to be in touch - I am taking bookings for September now and slots are filling up.

🦜 Can't wait till then? Need something now? Like, TODAY? My online course is available only via and will teach you what you really need to know, to help your little one learn to talk.

Had such a great weekend it needed a post!

1 & 2 - were just amazing - and bumped into an OT that I share a client with.

3 - taking it too far playing with the kids in the paddling pool and ending up soaked (and need to rescue a child!)

4 - Sunday evening, what a view to end the weekend with.

Not pictured (because who takes pictures of other people's kids in swimming costumes??!) which never fails to entertain and delight.

I've genuinely felt a bit lonely today, just me and my 3 year old at home!

Half term round up!

Glorious, wonderful Kalkan. We had a fantastic trip with the family and it was fab.

Some highlights:
My Husband and kids reminding me of the coffee I was missing from back home
Child free day at
Fabric shop of dreams
Just look at the colour of the sea!

Ready to be back in my lovely little clinic room tomorrow, can't wait to see how some of my little pals are getting on.

Here are some of the days I know my pre-speaking or minimally speaking clients love their Mums:

❤️ They regulate with them.
❤️ Some toys are so precious that I am not allowed to touch them. But Mum? Yeah, she can hold it, that's no problem
❤️ They'll play with me for a few mins, sure. But they'll play with Mum for much longer.
❤️ Communication is more often directed towards Mum than me.
❤️ They're authentically, fully themselves with Mum. Stimming, vocalising, protesting - none of it is hidden from Mum.
❤️ They might not notice when I walk in the room. But Mum arrives? Instant recognition.
❤️ Some of their favourite sensory regulating activities involve their Mum - deep squeezes, twiddling with Mum's hair, touching Mum's skin.
❤️ Sometimes I'm 100% sure that they're just telling me "I just need my Mummy".

I know a Mum comes in all shapes and sizes and is often a role fulfilled by others - so in these examples I'm using the words Mum/Mummy to reflect all those caregivers that carry out the role of 'Mum'.

But I am also thinking specifically about those women I know, who I am thrilled to work with or have worked with and sending love to them.

Brilliant day today at . So lovely to spend the day with my colleagues and Dr Abbie Moran!
