What Our Clients Say

“Excellent, efficient and professional service. Right from the beginning Ashna was knowledgeable and understanding of our situation for our little boy and his needs. The service she provided was excellent. Ashna was focussed, supportive and compassionate. Ashna was always professional every step of the way. We can’t thank Ashna enough and we will always be grateful for her help. We simply can’t recommend Ashna highly enough.”

Max’s parents (SEND Tribunal)

“I have worked with Ashna professionally for a number of children. She is warm and approachable while being professional and providing strong evidence-based practice. She has always gone above and beyond for her clients. I would (and do!) recommend her to anyone looking for a Speech and Language Therapist and would ask her to support my own child.”

School SENCO

“Ashna started working with our son a couple of years ago and I can honestly say that her work and support has been more helpful to him than any other professional or teacher. She has a great connection with our boy and is perhaps the only one outside the family who completely understood him and his needs right from the start. She’s been a true support to the family and has helped us as parents just as much as our son.”

Parent of a 4-year-old with speech and attention difficulties

“Ashna was simply outstanding. Her qualifications and experience are second to none. But she brings so much more to her assessments: exemplary communication skills and an ability to forge key relationships quickly (e.g. with school). She quickly won the trust of my son, thereby enabling a very fruitful discussion. She is extremely diplomatic and always goes the extra mile. Her up-to-date understanding of legislation and Local Authority procedures made her insights doubly invaluable. We were so grateful to her in so many ways, not least her approachability and the way she remained available for follow-up discussion and support. Ultimately her detailed recommendations were adopted by the Local Authority in full, which is testament in itself. Thank you.”
