Hello, I’m Iram.
I qualified with a postgraduate degree in Speech and Language Therapy from City, University of London in 2022. Before this, I completed an undergraduate degree in English Literature, a subject I have always been passionate about. My love of language and communication naturally led me towards a career in Speech and Language Therapy, where I can support children and young people to find their voice and feel understood.
I have experience working across both mainstream and specialist school settings, supporting children and young people with a wide range of needs. I particularly enjoy working collaboratively with children, families and schools and believe that taking a holistic, individualised approach is key to helping each child thrive.
I am especially passionate about mental health and supporting the wellbeing of others, which has led to my keen interest in Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH). The Words First value that resonates with me most is collaboration and support. Working as part of a multidisciplinary team has taught me so much, and I really value the opportunity to learn from and support colleagues from different professional backgrounds.
Outside of work, I love reading, travelling, spending time with my family and socialising. I am also currently writing a book – although being a mum to three beautiful boys means that project is currently on hold!
My friends and family would describe me as fun, determined, approachable, conscientious and caring. I have always enjoyed working with people and believe that building positive relationships is at the heart of what we do. I love helping others and believe that, with the right mindset, challenges can be overcome. I also try to remind myself to slow down, appreciate the present moment and enjoy the journey along the way.
“Conquer the mind, conquer the world!”
