About Me

Photo of me 2025_edited.jpg

My name is Ellie and I am an Independent Speech and Language Therapist based in St Neots Cambridgeshire. 

​

I am deeply passionate about delivering strength-focused, person-centred support, with all methods of communication considered as valid and equal. I am proud to be a neuroaffirming practitioner, recognising that neurodivergent people have unique strengths, interests and support needs. 

 

Connection is so important to me and is an integral part of my practice. I prioritise fostering connection over compliance and changing the environment, not the child - they are great just as they are. 

​​

I am fully insured and DBS checked. I am a member of the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists (RCSLT) and The Association of Speech and Language Therapists in Independent Practice. 


Do connect with me on Instagram and Facebook @riversidespeechtherapy where I post regularly. I share information and tips for supporting children with communication differences, as well as raising awareness of Speech and Language Therapy as a profession.
