Support for Parents 

As a Specialist Speech and Language Therapist with extensive experience supporting children with selective mutism, anxiety-based communication difficulties, speech delays, and language challenges, I understand how overwhelming this journey can feel for parents.

When your child struggles to communicate, it doesn’t just affect speech — it affects sleep, confidence, family life, and school experiences. Many parents tell me they feel confused, dismissed, or unsure where to turn next.

You are not alone — and there is a clear, supportive way forward.

Are You Worried About Your Child’s  Communication?

Do you find yourself lying awake at night wondering:

• Why does my child speak at home but not at school or outside?
• Is this anxiety, selective mutism, a speech delay, or something else?
• Am I doing the right things — or making it worse without realising?
• Do we really need therapy, or can I help my child myself?

These are incredibly common concerns for parents of children with communication shutdowns, selective mutism, speech difficulties, or language delays.

Parent Consultation & Support

If you are a parent (or a caregiver supporting a child) and you would like to:

• Understand why your child is struggling to communicate
• Learn practical strategies you can use at home and in everyday situations
• Reduce pressure around speech and build safety and confidence first
• Get clarity on whether therapy is needed — and what kind
• Feel reassured that you’re supporting your child in the right way

You can book a personal consultation with me.

During this session, we will focus on your child, your concerns, and real-life solutions not generic advice.

You’ll receive an email from my team with links to several forms.
Please complete them as fully and honestly as you can.
