You Never thought Communication was so Frustrating

Do you struggle to find the right words after a stroke?

Are you embarrassed that your words are unclear or don't come out the right way?

Are you frustrated that your speech and language skills are affecting your relationships at home?

Do you wonder how you can feel confident communicating with friends and colleagues?

Are you worried about your written language skills and wish you hadn't lost the ability to spell and construct a letter to a friend?

But it Doesn't Have to be Like This...

Hi, I'm Bev Jessup and I really understand how you feel.

I understand that being able to be a confident communicator is something we take for granted until we lose the skills of talking fluently with family and friends, due to a stroke, a brain injury, autism spectrum disorder or a stammer.

You lack the ability to find the right words or you feel annoyed that the words your want to say just don't seem to come out the way you want.

The clients I work with value my eclectic and therapeutic way of working, which draws on my 30 years of experience in schools and clinics; a way that empowers you in your communication in all social situations

Who & How I Help You

Teenage Social Skills Therapy

Having good social skills as a teenager or adult is important because it allows us to interact with others effectively, build and maintain positive relationships, and navigate social situations confidently.

Good social skills involve being able to communicate clearly, listen actively, show empathy, understand social cues, and adapt to different social situations.

Autism is a neurological disorder that affects social interaction and communication.

Individuals with autism may struggle with understanding social cues and nonverbal communication, have difficulty expressing themselves effectively, and have trouble with socializing and making friends.

This can lead to social isolation, loneliness, and a lack of confidence in social situations.

It is important to recognize the impact that autism can have on social skills and provide individuals with autism with the necessary support and resources to improve their social skills and build meaningful connections with others.

Stroke & Brain Injury Therapy

A stroke or brain injury can have a significant impact on an individual's ability to communicate effectively and their confidence in doing so.

Depending on the location and severity of the injury, a person may experience difficulty with speaking, understanding language, or expressing themselves coherently.

This can lead to frustration, anxiety, and social isolation. The individual may struggle to express their needs and wants, leading to a loss of independence and autonomy.

Additionally, the person's communication difficulties may lead to misinterpretation or misunderstandings, causing them to feel embarrassed or self-conscious.

Overall, a stroke or brain injury can significantly impact an individual's ability to communicate & their confidence in doing so.

Clear & Confident Speaking Therapy

Having a lisp or unclear speech can significantly impact an adult or teenager's confidence, communication abilities, and social interactions.

Individuals with a lisp may feel self-conscious about their speech, which can lead to low self-esteem and anxiety.

They may also struggle to be understood by others, which can lead to frustration and difficulty in expressing themselves effectively.

In social situations, having a lisp can lead to embarrassment or feeling excluded from conversations. This can make it challenging to form and maintain relationships with others.

Additionally, individuals with a lisp may face discrimination or bias in certain professional settings, which can limit their career opportunities.
