About Us

West London Speech and Language Therapy is an independent speech and language therapy practice providing speech and language therapy services to children from birth. We are two NHS-practising speech and language therapists who set up this private practice in order to offer high quality services to children and their families.

Our mission is to maximise the communication skills of all children in order to assist them in reaching their full potential. We aim to achieve this through a range of services from supporting new parents/carers to gain an understanding of communication development to providing specialised individual treatment for children with communication difficulties. We are committed to providing the most effective and evidence-based services in a friendly and motivating environment.
