"I have had a stammer since I was a teen and have had speech therapy many times, to varying degrees of success, but each time I still lacked confidence. To combat this Elizabeth focused largely on positive self talk and self reasoning using varying techniques.
This has allowed me to be much more content within myself, more present in the moment, and less focused on my stammer. I have now stopped avoiding situations and words and focus on taking part in life and doing what I want to do , not what the stammer will allow me to do. "
"Elizabeth made me understand the complexity of the brain and how it is sometimes important to challenge your emotions and thoughts. Now that I have the tools and the knowledge, I feel better equipped to not only speak more fluently, but to combat everyday scenarios that may put me under stress or anxiety - therefore increasing my overall confidence".
"I would recommend Elizabeth to anyone who has had a stroke, she teaches you to take control of your learning and provides a caring environment and great tools for both you and your family to support your therapy."
"I always found Elizabeth to be very professional and excellent in helping explain S's communication problems. The sessions were very well structured and S. loved attending them."
"It provides a very personal and tailored programme for each client."
"Elizabeth has been very helpful, informative and has bonded extremely well with J. - he loves going to see her."
"Very flexible approach. If one suggested treatment is unsuccessful, another suggestion is always available. Always very encouraging."
"Thank you for being so friendly and helpful with B. We were talking on the way home and he told me he thought you were absolutely brilliant (v high praise from a teenager!) He took on board everything that you said to him about his speech and was practicing syllables in words on the way home. I was worried about highlighting anything to him because he’s a very sensitive lad and his confidence could easily be knocked but you handled everything beautifully, thank you."
