Hello, my name is Zahla, and I am a Speech and Language Therapist originally from Kerala, India.

I completed my Bachelor’s degree in Speech and Language Pathology in 2022. Since qualifying, I have developed a particular interest in supporting children with complex needs. I enjoy working closely with children and their families and believe that a collaborative approach is key to achieving meaningful and lasting outcomes.

I am passionate about helping children develop the confidence to communicate effectively and express themselves in ways that enable them to participate and thrive in their everyday lives. I strive to create supportive, engaging and child-centred environments where children feel understood, valued and empowered to reach their full potential.

The Words First values that resonate most strongly with me are collaboration and keeping the child’s best interests at the heart of everything we do. I believe that working together with families, schools and other professionals allows us to draw on different perspectives and provide the best possible support for every child.

Outside of work, I enjoy travelling, spending time with friends and watching films. I love exploring new places, creating meaningful memories with the people I love and unwinding with a good movie.

If my friends had to describe me, they would probably say I’m fun, curious and spontaneous — and always ready for a new adventure!
