Hello, my name is Caroline.
I am a dedicated Speech and Language Therapist with a Bachelor of Science Honours degree from the University of Zimbabwe, which I completed in 2023.
I have gained experience across private practice, hospitals and schools, supporting both children and adults with a wide range of communication and swallowing needs. My clinical experience includes working with neurodevelopmental conditions, speech sound disorders, developmental language disorder (DLD), stammering, voice disorders, hearing loss, neurological conditions such as stroke, and feeding and swallowing difficulties, including dysphagia.
I have developed a particular passion for supporting children with speech sound disorders and developmental language disorders within mainstream school settings. Having come from a country where specialist support within mainstream schools is often limited, I have been inspired by the level of support available to children within educational settings in the UK and the meaningful difference this can make to their outcomes. I am particularly interested in early identification, targeted intervention and working collaboratively with school staff to support children’s communication, learning and confidence. I am excited to continue developing my knowledge and skills and to help more children access the support they need to thrive.
The Words First value that resonates most with me is collaboration. I strongly believe that the best outcomes are achieved when therapists, families, educators and other professionals work together towards shared goals. By building strong partnerships, we can create supportive environments that enable children to reach their full potential.
Outside of work, I enjoy reading, listening to music, watching films and spending time outdoors. I also love travelling and experiencing new places and cultures. My friends would describe me as confident, funny and ambitious – qualities that I strive to bring to both my personal and professional life.
