Sunflower Speech Therapy offers tailored assessment ​and therapy to children and young people in Edinburgh ​and surrounding areas. I offer person-centred support ​to clients with the understanding that each child is ​unique and requires an individualised approach based ​on their needs and interests. With time and nurture, I ​believe every child can grow to reach their full potential.

About

I am a Specialist Speech and Language Therapist with over 12 years experience working in the NHS and I am a member ​of the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists (RCSLT), the Health Care Professions Council (HCPC) and ​the Association of Speech and Language Therapists in Independent Practice (ASLTIP). I graduated from Strathclyde ​University in 2011 with a BSc Hons in Speech and Language Pathology. In 2019 I graduated with a Masters in ​Research focusing on Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder. I have worked as a Therapist in Aberdeen, Glasgow and ​Edinburgh and have been fortunate to gain skills across a range of clinical areas. I am very experienced in working with ​children with a range of communication difficulties including speech sounds, language, genetic conditions, ​neurodiversity, Autism and more. I have worked in settings such as community clinics, special schools, Enhanced ​Support Bases, mainstream schools, pre-schools and clients’ homes. I thoroughly enjoy working with children and ​young people. I am passionate about my work and how I can support children and their families to reach their full ​potential .


In my spare time I enjoy spending time with friends and family, travelling and going for long walks along the beach. I ​live by the sea in Portobello and it really is my happy place. I have a 2 year old daughter who keeps me very busy!
