“Belinda’s enthusiasm and dedication was apparent from day 1. She has gone above and beyond to make sure she is supporting my daughter (9 year old with diagnosis of ASD/ADHD) in the best possible way during quite difficult times. (New school and now schooling from home due to lockdown). My daughter has very quickly formed a trusting relationship with Belinda. She really looks forward to her sessions and I feel so much happier taking her to school knowing she has someone who really understands her and can support her needs.”

“I am so grateful to Belinda for the work she has done with my 4 year old son over the last 6 months. Her knowledge, skill and enthusiasm motivated him not only in the classroom setting to begin, but also when faced with the challenge of continuing sessions over Zoom. Belinda was able to actively engage him, deliver a well prepared therapy session with a variety of fun tasks and offered resources which we could continue to work on independently while at home.  My son quickly warmed to Belinda’s bubbly personality and he has shown vast improvements in his speech development over this time. He also loved receiving the praise and reward certificates which Belinda kindly posted to him. It has been a pleasure to work with Belinda; she is incredibly reliable and clearly has a wealth of experience. I would highly recommend her to parents searching for a skilled therapist that will deliver visible results in a positive and professional manner.”

“Belinda came into our son’s life at a time when we were desperate for an answer to his difficulties at school and when academic progress stilted after a failed school placement. Our child was diagnosed with Developmental Language Disorder that meant accessing the curriculum in Year 4 was impossible for him. With Belinda’s help and support, extending way beyond the sessions she gave and continues to give our child, she has supported not only our child but also our whole family. With Belinda’s help, he has progressed very rapidly in a short period of time, moving from being moderately affected to being mild to moderately affected by his pervasive condition. She has given him skills that have enabled him to start to know how to handle real life situations both inside and outside of the classroom. Our child responds to Belinda’s natural empathy, openness and natural sense of fun. Her lessons are the highlight of his academic week. She is always totally professional and is an amazing advocate for any child or parent struggling with a language difficulty and with the educational system. We would have no hesitation in recommending Belinda and hope that she stays in our child’s life for a long time. Our only regret is that we didn’t find Belinda sooner than we did.

“I had the pleasure and opportunity to work alongside Belinda in a residential college with students who have complex learning difficulties. Belinda advised therapy assistants, tutors and support workers with strategies to enable students to communicate, express their opinions and made themselves heard. Belinda identified the students interests ensuring the sessions were person centred. Belinda is extremely knowledgable in the Speech and Language area with numerous years of experience. She is approachable, caring and listens to your thoughts before advising on her recommendations. Thank you Belinda for all you have done and for your support.”

“ Having worked with Belinda for an RCSLT bilingualism project I have nothing but praise. An expert in her field, she adapted to the very particular challenge of writing concise web content on bilingualism. Belinda was adaptable while also being approachable, and always made content changes when required. I always trusted her opinion within a very complex topic area. Belinda is extremely knowledgeable and this is complemented with a genuine passion for her field. She is flexible and works well as part of a group. It made my role as project manager easier knowing i had someone as reliable as Belinda, who was more than happy to be contacted. I look forward to working with her again, and would urge any potential clients to do the same - so to fully harness both her expertise and enthusiasm.”
