With a PhD in Speech Sound Disorders and a career spanning NHS Lothian, higher education, and the U.S., I am based in Edinburgh providing a level of expertise that goes beyond standard practice. Since 2011, my mission has been to bridge the gap between cutting-edge research and family-centered care, ensuring every child receives the most efficient and effective therapy possible.

The "Scientist-Practitioner" Approach
My academic background allows me to decode complex communication challenges and apply innovative, evidence-based techniques that are proven to work.

• Transformative Progress: Focused on making meaningful, functional changes that improve a child's quality of life.
• Research-Driven: Every intervention is backed by current clinical science to ensure the fastest, most lasting results.
• Bespoke Care: While the techniques are scientific, the delivery is deeply human—tailored to your child’s unique personality and sensory needs.

Why Choose a PhD-Level Specialist?

• Specialist Expertise: Deep-dive knowledge into speech sound disorders, phonology, and complex articulation.
• Global Perspective: Insights gained from working within diverse educational and healthcare systems in both the UK and the USA.
• Empowerment-Focused: I don't just work with the child; I guide families with expert care, giving you the tools to support communication at home.

Professional Accreditations & Safety
I maintain the highest standards of professional regulation across two continents:

• UK: HCPC (Health & Care Professions Council), RCSLT, ASLTIP.
• USA: ASHA (American Speech-Language-Hearing Association).
• Safety: Full PVG (Protecting Vulnerable Groups) clearance.

"Communication is the foundation of a child's world. My role is to use the best of modern science to ensure that foundation is strong, confident, and enduring."
