Private Speech and Language Therapy for Children

Very good experience. Sonja is professional, caring, and great at making sessions engaging. We noticed real improvement in a short time.

My 2 year old son has been seeing Sonja for around 3 months now and I have already seen progress with his Speech and especially his focus. Sonja took her time to connect and learn about my son in order to help him in the most beneficial way and they have already formed a sweet bond. Sonja follows my son's lead during the play based and child led therapy and always lets me know what she is trying to achieve and methods she is using so that I can do the same at home. I really appreciate her follow up e-mails where she provides feedback and goes through the session as it is difficult to remember everything that is happening at the time. A very positive experience and so pleased to see my son's speech developing more and more each month.

We’re really happy with the progress our son Mustafa has made. He’s handling transitions more calmly now and he’s much better at pausing or waiting when asked, both in sessions and at home. He’s also become so much more chatty. His words are clearer, his phrases make more sense in the moment and he’s starting to ask for things he wants in a natural, confident way. Hearing that change at home has been amazing. I’ve learned a lot from Sonja about what helps him stay engaged, especially using rhythm, singing and playful language instead of the more traditional teaching approach. Adjusting how I model phrases for him has also made a real difference. We’re grateful for Sonja’s support and guidance. The growth we’re seeing in Mustafa feels huge, and we really appreciate her care and patience.

Very good experience. She was very friendly with my son and us. She gave us a lot of and was very helpful. I recommend to everyone.

We’ve been working with Sonja, our amazing speech therapist, for a little while now after she came highly recommended by a friend and she has not disappointed! Our four-year-old son is non-verbal autistic, and Sonja has helped us so much in understanding and connecting with him. Her strategies have truly made a difference he’s now starting to use short phrases, engage in more meaningful play, and regulate much better. We’ve also seen such positive changes in how he interacts at nursery. Sonja has given us so many practical tools and ideas that fit easily into our daily routines, helping us communicate with our son in ways that finally make sense to him (and to us!). Her wealth of knowledge, especially around neurodiversity and communication, is incredible. She is warm, inviting, and deeply professional. Her setting is wonderful child-friendly and neurodiversity-affirming and it genuinely feels like a fun play session for the children. Our son always looks forward to seeing her and never wants to leave! Sonja’s patience, flexibility, and kind approach make her an absolute joy to work with. We’re so grateful for the support and confidence she’s given our whole family. Thank you, Sonja

Miss Sonja has been fantastic from day one. She took the time to understand the root of the problem, explained everything clearly, and gave us straightforward techniques we could use at home—simple yet genuinely effective. We’ve already noticed improvements in our daughter’s communication and confidence. What impressed us most was her holistic approach: when she saw our daughter having strong emotional reactions to small changes, she immediately referred us to an occupational therapist and coordinated care seamlessly. She’s professional, kind, and incredibly proactive. We’re very grateful and would highly recommend her to any family.

We can’t recommend Sonja enough. She did an excellent job working with our daughter since she was 4 years old. She was patient, made the sessions fun and was clear on what she is focussing on. Our daughter loves Sonja and we are so thankful and happy with all the progress made with both speech and focus!

Sonja is an experienced professional and a natural with kids. She was great with my 8-year-old daughter and managed to motivate her to correct her lateral “S” while making the sessions (and homework) fun and enjoyable. She is also extremely reliable, always available to answer any questions, and consistently offers valuable support and suggestions to parents. I would recommend her in a heartbeat.

Sonja was wonderful. She was so engaging and made it fun for my son. We achieved incredible results in just 10 weeks. Thank you, Sonja.

We have had the pleasure of working with Sonja as our son's speech therapist, and we couldn't be more grateful for the positive impact she has had. From the very beginning, Sonja demonstrated exceptional professionalism, always approaching each session with a well-prepared plan, a clear understanding of our son's needs and a fun energetic mannerism. One of the most remarkable qualities of Sonja is her patience. She was able to take the time to ensure that our son felt comfortable and understood, never rushing through exercises or activities, and encouraging and complimenting him when he’d done well. This approach created a trusting and supportive environment, where our son felt encouraged to make progress at his own pace. Additionally, Sonja showed a deep understanding of our son's specific challenges and needs. She can tailor each session to address these areas, using creative and engaging methods that kept our son motivated and excited to learn, with breaks of fun games in between that kept the sessions feeling productive but not heavy or draining. Her ability to connect with our son on a personal level made a significant difference. Overall, we highly recommend Sonja to any parent seeking a dedicated and compassionate speech therapist. Her professionalism, patience, and understanding have truly made a positive impact on our son.

Sonja is an excellent speech therapist. My son was reluctant to go, but always enjoyed his sessions and has made great progress. Sonja has a great way with children, and her workspace is very welcoming. The whole process has been a pleasure.

My 5 year old son has been seeing Sonja for SLT for 6 months now and the progress is remarkable. After some false starts with other speech therapists who were either not helpful or stressful for my son, Sonja made such an effort to connect with my son and gain his trust. Right from the initial assessment I knew that we had found our person, Sonja is so knowledgeable and the assessment was very insightful. The hour sessions each week are very focussed and hard work, but Sonja makes everything so fun and engaging, which means that my son actually sits and stays focussed for the full hour to do the work! He looks forward to the sessions and Sonja is so encouraging of him. We are also sent clear homework at the end of each session promptly so we know exactly what we need to work on at home. We have all learnt so much from these sessions and it no longer feels like we’re stuck at the bottom of a mountain. We have a clear path. Sonja is also a great support to me when I need to talk through my sons development and she often checks in to see how my son is doing. Sonja is excellent. We are so happy we found her and I can’t recommend her highly enough!
