About

Lucinda Broad

Hi, I'm Lucinda. I'm a qualified Speech and Language Therapist with 26 years' experience. I've worked for the NHS in London and Devon and over the years I've supported a wide range of people — from school-aged children with speech and language difficulties to adults adjusting to life after neurological conditions.

Working with people who stammer has always been a particular interest of mine, and I'm delighted to make it my specialism.

I've trained in a number of approaches, including the Michael Palin Parent-Child Interaction (PCI) therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) — and I've also studied counselling and psychotherapy.

At the heart of my work is a simple belief: given the right support, at the right time, people can make real and lasting changes. My role is to help create the conditions for that to happen — ideally in a way that feels practical and fulfilling.

I live in Totnes with my teenage daughter (who keeps me 'relevant'), a dog and two cats. In my spare time I'm a keen potter, and I enjoy getting out for a good hike — preferably somewhere with a decent view at the top.

I'm an experienced Speech and Language Therapist with a background working across a range of NHS teams in the South West. My clinical experience includes learning disability services, inpatient stroke and brain injury rehabilitation, and community based therapy for adults following stroke/brain injury or progressive neurological conditions e.g. Dementia and Motor Neurone Disease.

I mainly lead our stroke and acquired brain injury work, alongside aspects of functional neurological disorder (FND). My approach is rooted in the latest evidence-base, combined with goals that feel personally meaningful and motivating for the individuals and families I work alongside.

After completing my MSc in Speech and Language Sciences at University College London in 2018, I swapped the bustle of the city for a quieter life in Devon. Alongside offering private Speech and Language Therapy, I spend time with our daughter and volunteer as a trainee counsellor at Rowcroft Hospice.

Before becoming a parent I loved long coastal walks or exploring the moors, always ending with a well-earned pint. These days you're more likely to find me at Pennywell Farm with a strong coffee in hand.
