ABOUT ME

Speech and Language Therapist

I’m Sophie, an experienced Speech and Language Therapist and founder of Nurture Speech & Language Therapy. I love what I do and I hope that is evident in all of my work. 

MY BACKGROUND

Highly Specialist Speech and

Language Therapist

Having worked formerly as a Highly Specialist Speech and Language Therapist in the NHS, I started my independent practice alongside by NHS role so I could reach more families at times convenient to family life. I took the leap into full time independent practice in 2023.  Working for myself gives me the flexibility to pursue post-graduate qualifications in Auditory Verbal Therapy and Sensory Integration. Investing in my clinical and professional development means better quality care of those I work with. 

 

I have been fortunate to work across a range of settings including early years, family homes, clinics, mainstream and specialist schools. I have had the pleasure of working with so many amazing children and young people with various communication challenges. 

 

My specialist area of knowledge and expertise is in hearing (re)habilitation. I used to lead the specialist hearing loss team for Bradford District before working for the Yorkshire Auditory Implant Service. Alongside running Nurture Speech & Language Therapy , I volunteer for the charity, Auditory Verbal UK.
