Welcome to Kay’s Speech and Language Therapy website!

I am a Hampshire based independent Speech and Language Therapist offering assessment and therapy for pre and school aged children with a range of communication needs. I also provide advice and training for parents, care givers and educational staff around the child to further encourage communicative skills development.

Communication is an integral part of our everyday lives that we often take for granted and yet it is so essential in enabling us to understand the world around us, to be able to express our needs/wants, to learn new skills and to make and maintain friendships.

It’s no wonder then that children who have difficulty developing communication skills in line with their same aged peers can  become frustrated. This can be very distressing for both the child and their parents/carers.

If you or someone you know has concerns about their child’s communication skills then please feel free to contact me directly to discuss your concerns and arrange an appointment if appropriate. Please visit the Contact page for more information.

Anna reviewed Kay’s Speech and Language Therapy:

Kay is just amazing. Plain and simple. She’s amazing. Kay is super personable and has a lovely way of making any child want to interact with her, as well as having such a wonderful way of supporting and assisting parents seeking her expertise.

We started seeing Kay in 2018 and since then our Son has come on leaps and bounds with his understanding of language and his speech. He is still progressing and engaging with us more and more each day. His range of vocabulary still surprises us and is being used in appropriate context. It’s so encouraging and promising and is an absolute testament, to Kay and her work. Kay really helped and guided us in where to begin with our sons speech and language journey. The foundation of everything she showed and taught us, is still present today in how we encourage our son to interact with us and in turn, how we interact with him.

We’re so thankful for her and we will miss working with her so regularly.

Cannot recommend Kay highly enough, she has helped our son so much and he has made fantastic progress in so many areas since Kay started working with him. Kay is amazing with children and has a unique ability to really connect with them on their level.

We cannot thank you enough Kay for your amazing work and support!
