Motor Speech Therapy

Motor speech therapy helps people who have difficulties producing clear, coordinated, and accurate speech due to challenges with muscle control, sound sequencing, or motor planning. Therapy focuses on improving speech clarity and confidence by strengthening coordination and developing strategies that make everyday communication easier. I use a holistic, individualised approach, drawing on a range of interventions to tailor therapy to each person's unique needs, goals, and communication environments. Evidence shows that motor speech therapy achieves the best outcomes when delivered at a high intensity — typically 3 to 5 sessions per week over a sustained period. Frequent, targeted practice helps the brain strengthen the motor pathways needed for accurate sound production, smoother sequencing, and clearer, more confident communication. Consistent therapy supports faster progress, better generalisation, and long-lasting results.
