Independent Neurodiversity Affirming Speech Therapist

I’m Philippa. I’m an award-winning, HCPC-registered, and fully independent Speech and Language Therapist. I’m based in rural Oxfordshire, on the northern edge of the Cotswolds.

I provide neurodiversity-affirming, trauma-informed Speech Therapy. I draw on extensive clinical experience, the current evidence-base, and my own lived experience as an Autistic adult.

You’re in the right place if you want a Speech Therapist who understands and honours your child’s authentic neurodivergent communication style.
