About me: 

Hello! My name is Vanessa and I work as an experienced Speech and Language Therapist, based in Norwich and travelling across Norfolk. 

 

I qualified as a Speech and Language Therapist in 2013 following which I worked within the NHS for 11 years and more recently in independent practice. During this time, I’ve had the privilege of supporting children with a wide range of speech, language and communication needs as well as spending 2 years working with adults with learning disabilities and mental health difficulties. 

 

I am committed to ongoing professional development and have completed a number of additional courses and accreditations to ensure my interventions are evidence based and effective. I enjoy designing engaging child-centred therapy sessions, guided by each child’s individual needs and interests to support meaningful and functional communication. 

Experience:

• Language delay/disorder or 'late talkers'

• Understanding and using language

• Speech sound delay/disorder

• Global Developmental Delay

• Social Communication Difficulties and Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC)

• Using AAC, Augmentative and Alternative Communication, and visual communication systems

• ​Attention and Listening difficulties

​

Locations:

I offer assessment, therapy and support across a range of settings in Norwich and Norfolk
