Meet Emma, Your Therapist
Hello, I’m Emma, a neurodiversity-affirming, HCPC-registered Speech and Language Therapist (CertMRCSLT) who is passionate about helping children communicate with confidence. I support children with speech, language, and social communication needs, including those who use AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) and have complex needs. I offer a calm, sensory-informed, child-led approach across Swindon and surrounding areas, up to a 40-mile radius*.
Services
Supporting children and families across Swindon and nearby areas
I provide in-person and remote therapy for children and families within a 40-mile radius of Swindon, including Wiltshire, Berkshire, Gloucestershire, North Hampshire, and North Somerset. *Please note that I’m unable to work with families living in Oxfordshire or whose children attend Oxfordshire schools due to NHS commitments.
Telephone Consultation
Let’s begin with a free, no-obligation up to 30-minute telephone consultation to explore your child’s communication needs, answer questions, and talk about how I can help.
Assessment
Assessment is the first step in understanding your child’s communication profile.
It involves gathering a detailed case history and using a combination of play-based observation, informal activities, and formal assessment tools to explore strengths and needs across speech sounds, understanding and use of language, and social communication.
This process helps build a clear picture of your child’s unique abilities and informs personalised therapy goals and support strategies. Assessments can take place at home, in school or nursery, or virtually, depending on your child’s needs.
While existing reports from other professionals are carefully considered, I always carry out my own assessment to ensure recommendations and therapy targets are tailored specifically to your child.
Therapy
Therapy is tailored to your child’s unique strengths, needs, and interests. Using child-led, engaging activities, I support the development of speech clarity, language (including AAC), and social interaction skills. My goal is to help your child feel confident and connected at home, in school, and in everyday life.
Sessions can take place at home, in school or nursery, or virtually, depending on what works best for your family.
