Testimonials

"I have worked with Ashna professionally for a number of children. She is warm and approachable while being professional and providing strong evidence-based practice. She has always gone above and beyond for her clients. I would (and do!) recommend her to anyone looking for a Speech and Language Therapist and would ask her to support my own child."
School
SENCO Read More →"Ashna started working with our son a couple of years ago and I can honestly say that her work and support has been more helpful to him than any other professional or teacher. She has a great connection with our boy and is perhaps the only one outside the family who completely understood him and his needs right from the start. She’s been a true support to the family and has helped us as parents just as much as our son."
Parents
Parent of a 4-year-old with speech and attention difficulties Read More →"Ashna was simply outstanding. Her qualifications and experience are second to none. But she brings so much more to her assessments: exemplary communication skills and an ability to forge key relationships quickly (e.g. with school). She quickly won the trust of my son, thereby enabling a very fruitful discussion. She is extremely diplomatic and always goes the extra mile. Her up-to-date understanding of legislation and Local Authority procedures made her insights doubly invaluable. We were so grateful to her in so many ways, not least her approachability and the way she remained available for follow-up discussion and support. Ultimately her detailed recommendations were adopted by the Local Authority in full, which is testament in itself. Thank you."
David's mum
Parent Read More →"Ashna is exceptional in every way. She is extremely experienced in her field, so she can tailor her advice and approaches to the specific needs of your child. She is equally adept at unpacking the basics for an overwhelmed parent, building a structured support plan, extending this into the learning environment and guiding you through the wider world of SEN, including EHCPs. She is a therapist for the whole family. She found a way to connect with our son immediately and to see the best in him and the world through his eyes. She is warm, reassuring, patient and kind to us as parents and a generous and clear coach. We always felt much better after a session with Ashna, who brings positive energy and belief in our son’s potential and progress. She has met every stage of our journey with warmth, insight and actionable advice, and has made a huge difference to my son and our family’s life. "
