  • adapting

  • to new social situations

  • understanding written language

  • sharing interests with other people

Why is Stroke Therapy Important

A stroke can be so severe that it causes temporary or permanent paralysis and impairs memory and cognitive functioning. Part of what these side effects can impact the most is a stroke patient's speech and communication capabilities.

Although it can be scary to face everyday activities without the ability to express thoughts and emotions easily or understand others, there is a way for patients to recover speech after a stroke through speech therapy.


Following a fall and suffering a brain injury, you may experience word-finding difficulties, frustration with remembering information, and impairment in communicating with others in everyday situations. You may also experience loss of literacy skills e.g the ability to read and write.

With careful planning, Bev assesses what your goals are for the future in terms of communication, memory, and literacy skills. Together we work to achieve those skills so you can become more independent and feel more confident in communicating your needs.

Any Questions?

How do I know if my loved one needs help?

As a parent/carer, you may notice that your child is struggling to keep up with their peers and need support. Perhaps they're feeling stressed in social situations, and they are reluctant to give enough or clear explanation so you can understand them fully. 

If you're an adult or a carer of an adult with significant communication difficulties, then you may have experienced the frustration of getting your message across. You can speak to Bev straightaway when you book a demo at a mutually convenient time online and we can discuss all your requirements then

Will Online input really help my child/adult?

Online input is effective for children and adults with speech and communication needs because it provides access to specialized services from the comfort of their homes. It also allows for greater flexibility in scheduling and enables therapists to use interactive technologies to engage and motivate clients.

What age group do you work with?

Although Beverly has worked for over 30 years, with children as young as 3,  she now concentrates her efforts on children who are over 8 years old and especially those who are preparing to enter secondary education. She is passionate about enabling adults to communicate more effectively at home and in the workplace.

What is the assessment process?

You'll start by completing the referral form with various questions after Beverley has taken a case history. She will start the assessment process which will be dynamic and gradual incorporating various areas based on your concerns. If you require a formal written Report, there will be an extra charge starting from £100 depending on the complexity. Beverley will give you a verbal report of each assessment component, but their assessments are not standardized, but will be comprehensive so that the client can get the best results during the treatment process.

She likes to involve the carer in the therapeutic process because it's important for the consolidation of activities given

Are Assessments Formal & Standardized?

No. Assessments are dynamic which is important because it provides an abundance of information. They tell us so much more about an individual's abilities. It shows us the degrees of knowledge within a client; what they are able to do. It also offers a starting point for instruction

How long do I need this input?

Once Bev has completed the assessment, she will have a clearer idea of the next steps. On average, input is once a week for around nine weeks.But this can change according to the complexity of each case. You will be advised accordingly.

Can I cancel the session?

We have a 24 hour cancellation policy. Anything more than 24 hours can be cancelled or rearranged without charge. If sessions are cancelled with less than 24 hours they will be fully charge

How do I pay for sessions?

Once you have completed your free consultation, you will be given a link for a page where you can book a block of sessions and pay for it in advance.
