I have had the privilege of working closely with Geraldine over a 7 year period. She has tremendous knowledge and experience and is devoted to her profession and the care and development of the children she works with.

Her energy and creativity is infectious, with an amazing capacity to incorporate a child’s fascination into their speech therapy enabling them to engage fully.

It has been wonderful to see children blossom and grow in confidence, hearing them learn to articulate and express themselves more clearly. Geraldine embraces the development of the child and the relationships with their families, friends and teachers offering constant encouragement advice and support to all.

I have been incredibly fortunate to work with Geraldine, gaining far more insight into many of the difficulties affecting my pupil’s speech, language and development. I have been able to support my pupils more effectively by incorporating many of the strategies Geraldine uses throughout their school day so that their progress is on-going.

I would recommend Geraldine to any of my students in need of Speech support, indeed, she would be my first port of call if I required support for a member of my own family.

I first met Geraldine when I was 3, I think. When I first met her, I’d only communicate with her from under a blanket that I was fixated upon. Before I started seeing her, I’d lost the ability to speak and basically all of my social and communicative skills. Over the next several years, she helped me regain the skills I’d lost. I’m currently in college, studying a Higher National Diploma in Business. I owe a lot to Geraldine, as with her help I’ve managed to get to where I am now.

Her advice and therapy is immensurable and I would recommend Geraldine to anyone whose child is struggling with speech and language. She supported me as a mother with a child with Autism and helped me to feel positive about the future for our son. She has helped him accomplish things I never thought possible.

I have worked with Geraldine on several occasions with different clients ranging from children with autism, cerebral palsy to adults who had suffered from strokes. Geraldine is unquestionably one of the most able Speech and Language Therapists that I have worked alongside with, and her work with her clients consistently reflects a level of insightfulness and attention to detail that is unique to Geraldine. It was pleasure working with Geraldine with her great sense of humour and vast amount of knowledge and experience in the SLT field.

It was an absolute pleasure to see how Geraldine engages with her patients. The holistic and intuitive approach she adopts reflects the vast amount of experience Geraldine has in working with children and adults with a range of communication disabilities. I was inspired by the sheer joy and devotion she demonstrated in her work and it is no wonder her clients are so committed to her.

Geraldine has worked with a variety students at North Hertfordshire College to ensure they receive the continued speech and language skills they require to access the curriculum, communicate with their peers and gain further independence skills in communication. The students related well to Geraldine and staff were able to use the strategies suggested throughout the week and feedback on their progress. Geraldine completed all reports and assessments in a timely and professional way and the students benefited from the feedback given. Parents/carers were able to use some of the strategies suggested in the home and reported that obvious improvements were being made by their son/daughter.

Her years of experience mean she knows how to get the best from my at times very challenging daughter using praise, patience and humour. My daughter has been seeing Geraldine for 7 years and in that time made such progress with her that the difference is noticeable to children of a similar age. This progress is as a result of Geraldine’s skills.
