Qualified and experienced Speech and Language Therapist offering therapy to adults with communication difficulties.

I met Louise through the Speak out project, she has been really supportive towards me and helped me overcome many barriers with my speech.
I highly recommend working with Louise, as she has helped steer my life back towards positivity.

I have Early Onset Parkinsn's. There are over 40 recognised symptoms and unfortunately for me one of mine is problems with my speech. My voce had become quiet and also croaky and when I spoke I rushed and stumbled over words. After a years speech therapy with the NHS with little to no progress made I was beginning to lose hope. Thankfully I stumbled across the Parkinson's Voice Project and their Speak Out system and found Louise through their website. I contacted Louise and we spoke about what was going on with my voice. She explained to me what happens to speech in Parkinson's and how the Speak Out method uses intent to improve it. It seemed such a simple idea but it helped almost immediately - I couldn't believe the change in the sound of my voice when I used intent. Louise was very good at explaining how to do this without straining your voice and I soon got the hang of it. As with most things in life there isn't a one size fit all approach that will fix everyone but Louise's experience means she has a wide range of tools to pull from. In my case we have been looking at the impact of our emotions on the voice and my breathing and some exercises to relax me both physically and mentally. I know that working on my speech and swallow is a daily commitment for me now and I am so happy to have found Louise to help me stay on track. I highly recommend her!

Louise is an excellent speech therapist and a truly supportive presence. I've known her for more than twenty years and over this time it is clear that she's very gifted. She immediately puts everyone at ease and is clearly invested in getting to the heart of what's holding her clients back. She helps them regain their confidence and ability with a holistic approach.

Louise has been my Speech Therapist for some time now working on the “Speak Out “programme. I have always found her to be kind and patient and always willing to go the extra mile on my behalf.
I was quite ill earlier in the year and was out of contact for some time, but when I was well enough, I made contact, and we were able to pick up where we had left off. Louise now supports me with my new speech therapy programme. Nothing is ever too much bother and I have found her to be very supportive and always willing to go above and beyond to help me. I have no hesitation in recommending her, she’s the best

Louise always makes me feel at ease. She is patient and caring. She is very reliable. Highly recommended!!
