Hi, I’m Tessa.
I’m a speech and language therapist with over 25 years’ experience of working with children and young people with additional needs. I’m excited to offer fun, functional person-centred therapy as well as assessments, reports and training in Flitwick, Ampthill and the surrounding areas of Bedfordshire.
My Approach
My motto:
Tell Me, I’ll Forget
Show Me, I’ll Remember
Involve Me, I’ll Understand
Collaboration
I believe that by working together with children/young people, their parents/carers and any other supporting professionals the best outcomes can be achieved. I recognise that life is busy and, therefore, strive to make any strategies and suggestions functional and practical for daily life.
Personalisation
No two individuals present in the same way and, therefore, any person I support will have a bespoke therapy programme that is adapted to meet their needs to ensure that they are able to achieve their full potential.

What Clients are Saying
"Thank you so much for everything that you do for him (and me) - we would be truly lost without you."
Teaching assistant supporting a child in school
We are so happy how much our son has progressed over the last couple of years with his speech and language and that is thanks to Tessa and the team working with him to get him where he is today. The methods and engagement with our son making the learning fun was invaluable. They also helped us develop methods and strategies at home and working closely with the school team has really helped his development.

Parent of a client
The children she works with come on leaps and bounds under her guidance. The children thoroughly enjoy the sessions. Feedback is always promptly given with supporting documents to ensure the children are able to apply what they have learnt in each session.

I will try to make the process as smooth as possible!
Firstly, complete the contact form (so that I have some background information) then we will schedule a free 15 minute call to establish your needs. From this, we will work collaboratively to figure out the next steps. -
Pricing varies depending on your needs and wants, therefore, this will be discussed during the screening call.

This is entirely dependent on how the client presents and how they respond to therapy. That said, typically, following an initial assessment session that identifies differences, there is a minimum of 4 therapy sessions.
