Based in the heart of East Lothian and serving Edinburgh, I provide a compassionate, independent Speech and Language Therapy service for children and young people from birth to 18 years old. In addition to general pediatric support, I offer a highly specialist service for Deaf children and adults, ensuring that hearing loss is never a barrier to meaningful connection.

Specialist Deaf & Hearing Support
I provide a tailored environment for those navigating hearing loss, focusing on:

• Auditory & Visual Communication: Supporting children and adults in developing their preferred communication methods.
• Specialist Paediatric Support: Working with families of Deaf children to navigate early language acquisition and school-aged transitions.
• Adult Consultation: Expert support for Deaf adults seeking to enhance their communication or navigate specific speech goals.
