Services

I believe that building a sense of trust, safety, and acceptance is the key to long-term success as your child develops skills that will help them communicate with confidence. My sessions are child-led and play-based, centred around what engages and motivates your child, and what helps them feel their best as they are learning. Together with you and your child, we will develop a therapy plan tailored to your child’s individual needs, whilst ensuring that you feel confident supporting your child outside of sessions.

I primarily provide support for school-aged children, focusing on the following:

• Social Communication - e.g. navigating social situations and friendships; working out non-verbal communication (body language, tone of voice); interpreting humour; understanding and communicating one’s own social preferences and needs

• Language Therapy - e.g. understanding instructions in the classroom; choosing words to use to express ideas clearly; telling stories; using words in the correct order in sentences

• Literacy Skills - e.g. identifying individual sounds in words; decoding words; understanding texts; spelling words; understanding grammar; constructing sentences and written assignments

• Executive Functioning - e.g. setting up the environment to start on homework (what materials do I need? where do I start? how much time will it take?); modifying a plan if it didn’t work the first time; staying on task and redirecting if focus is interrupted
