Speech Therapy in English
Improved quality of life through speech and language therapy support
I qualified as a Speech and Language Therapist in the UK in 2010 (City University, London) and worked in a number of different settings within the NHS in London, from acute wards and stroke unit (Newham University Hospital), to inpatient neurological rehabilitation (Homerton University Hospital) and as part of a community rehabilitation team (Mile End Hospital).
Working with a multicultural and multilingual population in London has taught me to work flexibly and adapt quickly to different people's needs. I take a holistic and functional approach to therapy and make sure goals are relevant and motivating to each individual.
Therapy
I provide assessment, therapy and advice for communication and swallowing difficulties.
My main focus is the treatment of difficulties relating to neurological conditions:
- Aphasia
- Dysarthria
- Apraxia
- Cognitive Communication Difficulties
- Dysphagia
I also offer therapy for:
- Articulation difficulties
- Stammering
- Voice problems
- Facial paralysis
- Myofunctional disorders (from age 8+)
I am also a certified LSVT® LOUD therapist. I am able to offer the Lee Silverman Voice Treatment to people who experience voice changes (quiet, monotone speech) due to their Parkinson's Disease.

Costs
I am a 'Vertragslogopädin' with the health insurance providers BVAEB, SVS, KFA and ÖGK. In order to be eligible for treatment, you require a referral for speech therapy from a consultant; for the KFA and SVS you also need this referral to be approved by the health insurance (chefärztliche Bewilligung) prior to the start of therapy.
If you are insured via a different provider, therapy needs to be paid in full by you initially. I will then provide you with a receipt (Honorarnote), which you can send to the health insurance for reimbursement.
