Client feedback
"Sophie has done a great job of understanding my issues and helping me develop strategies to overcome them. She is a very empathetic person and has helped me to process and understand my injuries, as well as providing practical support and encouragement. Sophie is very meticulous in documenting our sessions and providing exercises to practice and work on in between sessions."
Karen, Sheffield- March 2026
Client feedback
"Sophie was very knowledgeable about areas of speech which I had zero understanding of before my stroke.
She is very pleasant to work with, and is able to both push you along, whilst allowing you to go at your own pace.
Meeting Sophie virtually via a Video call worked perfectly well.
I would certainly recommend her to anyone looking for help and support after a speaking related health issue."
Peter, March 2026
Client feedback
"Feeling supported after a traumatic injury - both in terms of my speech issues, but also in terms of how the injury has affected me personally. Sophie really strives to provide holistic therapy and support, which has been extremely beneficial to my ongoing recovery."

What is Speech and language therapy?
Speech and Language therapy can be many things!
Communication is about expressing ourselves, connecting with others, and feeling that we belong.
Changes in communication can affect every part of life.
Eating and drinking are also central to connection- Sharing meals supports both health and relationships.
Speech and Language Therapy can support you to reach your communication or swallowing goals.
Therapy may include:
- Assessment
- Education and advice
- Goal setting
- Practical strategies
- Conversation partner training
- Environmental changes
- Assistive or alternative communication (AAC)
- Intensive practice and exercise
- Working with family or other professionals
- Therapy is always tailored to you.
To be effective, therapy must be meaningful and relevant to your life.
