Ellie is passionate about creating inclusive therapy sessions and environments where children are encouraged to be their authentic selves. She wants children to feel happy, understood and excited to take part, rather than feeling that communication support is something being done to them.
She works collaboratively with families, schools and other professionals to understand the whole child, build on individual strengths and help each child work towards meaningful communication goals.

Neuro-affirming speech and language therapy

Ellie particularly enjoys supporting neurodivergent children and helping schools develop more neuro-affirming environments. Her experience includes working within a multidisciplinary team in a specialist school with autistic children and young people aged 4–16.

This work has included supporting communication, independence, self-advocacy and access to learning. Ellie’s background in psychology also informs her thoughtful understanding of each child’s wider needs and experiences.

Working collaboratively around the child

Ellie values the different perspectives brought by families, teachers and other professionals. By working together, she helps build a fuller picture of a child’s strengths, communication preferences and support needs.

I love seeing children feel happy, confident and excited to come to therapy while growing in confidence in their communication.
