For families
Assessment and therapy happens in the spaces your child actually lives — at home, in nursery, or in school. No strange rooms, no pressure. Just support that fits around your family.
Specialist paediatric speech & language therapy in East London — combining six years of NHS and private practice with warm, family-centred care. From first words to confident communication.
Canning Town · London
Hi, I'm Bethany — a Specialist Paediatric Speech & Language Therapist with six years of experience across the NHS, special schools, mainstream schools, early years & speech sound clinics. I also completed a year-long posting in Hanoi developing children rehabilitation services
I’m experienced working with children & young people with Autism (inc. speaking & minimally/non speaking), ADHD, DLD, speech/language delay, Global Developmental Delay, PMLD, selective mutism, social communication differences, speech sound disorders, cerebral palsy and genetic conditions (inc. down syndrome, cri du chat syndrome, soto syndrome, joubert syndrome, pallister-killian syndrome and mosaic trisomy a syndrome).
My practice blends neurodiverse-affirming approaches (Gestalt Language Processing, DIR Floor time, Autism Level Up) with the evidence-based interventions families know and trust — low and high tech Augmentative & Alternative Communication (AAC), early intervention with Parent-Child Interaction therapy, & language based interventions such as Colourful Semantics, Word Aware and narrative language interventions.
"Every child is already communicating.
My job is to attune to their communication and support the next steps in their development."
Assessment and therapy happens in the spaces your child actually lives — at home, in nursery, or in school. No strange rooms, no pressure. Just support that fits around your family.
Commissions of half or full days of dedicated speech and language support, shaped entirely around your school. From 1:1 therapy and small group sessions to assessing, upskilling staff and planning with teachers — happy to support however is needed.
I partner with Local Authorities to support children and young people with communication needs — making sure the provision in every EHCP is not just written, but delivered. From assessments and therapy programmes to staff training and MDT collaboration, I cover the full picture. Clear, timely and always centred on the child.
A free 20-minute call — by phone or video. You share what's on your mind; I share how I might help. No pressure, just direction.
A gentle, play-based session to build a full picture of your child's strengths and where they need a hand. You receive a clear written report.
Weekly or fortnightly sessions at home, nursery, or school — with goals we shape together. EHCP advice available on request.
Every six weeks we step back, celebrate progress, and reshape goals. Therapy ends when your child — and you — feel ready.
A free conversation to understand your school's needs, priorities, and the children you'd like me to support.
I come to you. Observing children in their own environment — classroom, playground, small group — gives me a much richer picture than any clinic setting.
1:1 therapy, small group sessions, staff upskilling, and joint planning with teachers — shaped around what your school actually needs.
A written summary with clear recommendations and next steps, so progress continues long after the commission ends.
A conversation with the commissioning team to understand the child's needs, current provision, and what you're looking for from me.
I review the EHCP and any existing reports, agree scope and timeline with the commissioning team, and flag any gaps early.
I offer both as separate products. Assessment delivers a clear, timely report to inform EHCP outcomes. Provision covers therapy delivery, staff training, and MDT collaboration.
Progress report with updated EHCP recommendations, ready for annual review. Clear, evidenced, and always centred on the child.
Real words from parents and clinicians who have worked alongside the practice.
Bethany met our son exactly where he was — no pressure, no chart-checking. Within three months he was asking for "more bubbles" and our whole evening routine had softened.
Her EHCP advice was the clearest, most child-centred we received from any clinician. It changed the conversation with our local authority entirely.
As a SENCo I've worked with many SLTs — Bethany stands out for genuinely embedding in the school team. The strategies stick because the staff feel part of them.
Our daughter went from a handful of words to full sentences over a year. The bilingual support was the piece nobody else thought to offer.
Tell me a little about your child and what you're noticing. Discovery calls are free, unhurried and judgement-free.
