Hello


After a decade of working as a Speech and Language Therapist, leading and managing services across the North West, I founded A Pinch of SaLT Speech Language and Communication Ltd in 2022 with one powerful mission: to transform the lives of children and young people by unlocking their full communication potential. We believe that every child deserves a voice, and through our dedicated, tailored support, we aim to create brighter futures and lasting change for families and communities.

We offer comprehensive assessment, therapy, and consultation services tailored to each child's specific needs. Using evidence-based strategies, we empower children to develop their communication skills and confidence. We work in close partnership with education settings and local authorities to create targeted solutions that foster progress and inclusion. Together, we help children overcome communication barriers and achieve meaningful growth, equipping them with the tools they need to succeed.
