✨ Why I Became a Speech & Language Therapist ✨

Swipe through to see the journey that led me from tutoring SATs in school to founding my own private practice, SpeakEasy. 💬

From working with children with autism, to discovering a passion for adult neuro- rehab after stroke, every step shaped the therapist I am today. 💡

I loved my time in the NHS and learned so much in those 2.5 years. But I saw a gap in long-term support for patients once they left hospital… and I wanted to be part of the solution.

Now, I’m proud to offer flexible, focused therapy for both adults and children (online or face-to-face) helping people build confidence and find their voice. 🗣️💕

🩺 Disclaimer:
I have so much respect and gratitude for the NHS and everything they do. My decision to go private was never about criticism, just about creating additional support where I saw a need. ❤️
