Trauma Informed Speech and Language Therapy

Welcome to Dorking Speech and Language Therapy. My name is Jocelyn and I have worked as a Speech and Language therapist since graduating from UCL in 2011. I have worked across the early years to post 16 settings. I started my career at a specialist speech and language school for five years. Since 2018, I have worked in Social Emotional and Mental Health schools. I have also specialised in trauma informed practice with vulnerable and complex children and young people who display challenging behaviour alongside speech, language and communication needs.

I have vast experience in working with those who have a diagnosis of Autistic Spectrum Condition, Pathological Demand Avoidance, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Oppositional Defiance Disorder, Developmental Language Disorder and Mental Health related needs.

I have started this service to offer nurture based Speech and Language therapy for children, young people and their families to understand and develop speech, language and communication needs within your own home or within the school context.

Navigating the world with communication difficulties is difficult, socially, emotionally and academically. I feel passionate about supporting children, young people and their families to overcome these barriers and connect with the world around them and getting their identity back.
