Specialist Speech & Language Therapy
A person-centred practice based in Totnes — working with children, teenagers and adults right across the South West.
We're Lucinda and Kathryn
Two experienced Speech and Language Therapists, based in Totnes.
We share a belief that with the right support, at the right time, people can make real and lasting changes — and that good therapy should feel practical, collaborative, and genuinely fulfilling.
What we help with
One-to-one therapy tailored to you. Explore our three core services below — we're also happy to talk through anything closely related that's not listed here.
Stammering
Children, teenagers and adults. Evidence-based approaches including Michael Palin PCI, ACT and Solution Focused Brief Therapy — led by Lucinda.
Stroke & brain injury
Rehabilitation for aphasia, dysarthria, apraxia of speech and cognitive-communication difficulties after stroke or acquired brain injury — led by Kathryn.
Functional neurological disorder (FND)
Counselling-informed speech, voice and communication support where FND sits in the picture — validating, pacing-led and practical.
Meaningful goals, shaped around you
Our approach is rooted in the latest evidence-base, combined with goals that feel personally meaningful and motivating for the individuals and families we work alongside.
We both have experience in counselling alongside our core SLT work — it means we're comfortable sitting with the emotional side of communication difficulties, not just the clinical side.
What clients say
A few words from people we've worked with.
-
For the first time in years I feel like I can speak up in meetings without rehearsing every sentence. The work we did on confidence — not just speech — completely changed how I show up at work.
Stammering therapy client -
After Dad's stroke we didn't know where to start. Sessions were calm, practical, and full of small wins. He's back to phoning my sister every Sunday — that means everything to us.
Daughter of stroke survivor -
Our six-year-old went from dreading reading aloud at school to volunteering for the class play. We were given tools we could actually use at home, every day.
