My reception-age daughter now asks to play the speech sound games the therapist taught me. She thinks it's playing, I know it's practice. Really pleased we booked it.
Lovely specialist who clearly knew her field. My daughter is shy even with family, and the gentle strategies for building her confidence to speak have made a real difference at nursery. The school run chat is a joy now.
Straight-talking and sent us away with a proper plan, no complaints on the advice. I'd just say the 45 minutes goes quickly, so lead with your biggest worry rather than the backstory like I did.
Solid help with my son's late talking and the home strategies are simple enough to actually do. Only gripe is we ran out of time before I'd got through all my questions, so have yours written down.
Booked one about my grandson's stammer and we both came away calmer, with things to actually do and say when he gets stuck. More of a guidance chat than anything clinical, which was exactly what we needed.
I'm a nan looking after my grandson and the session was pitched perfectly for me. She explained why he communicates the way he does and gave me little games we now play every day. Never once made me feel behind the times.

Common questions
Is this proper speech and language therapy?
These sessions are delivered by HCPC-registered speech and language therapists and give you real, usable guidance. For a full course of clinical therapy, booking several sessions gives continuity; we'll always be honest if what you need is a formal NHS assessment.
Is my child on the call?
No, the session is online and just for you. You describe what's happening (a short video clip from home can help the therapist hear it for herself), and you leave with activities and ways of talking to use every day. If your child would benefit from a formal assessment, you'll leave knowing exactly how to push for one.
