About Heidi

A young woman with shoulder-length light brown hair, wearing a red top and a delicate necklace, smiling outdoors with a blurred green park background.

Heidi is deeply passionate and enthusiastic about her work and feels privileged to support individuals and families on their communication journeys. She values empowering others to develop confidence, self-understanding, and the ability to express themselves effectively.

Heidi recognises the integral role of families and works collaboratively to build parents’ and carers’ confidence in using practical speech, language, and communication strategies to support their child in everyday life.

In addition to her work with children, Heidi currently supports neurodiverse children and adults, helping them understand and navigate their individual strengths and differences. She offers tailored strategies, practical tools, and signposting to relevant services to meet individual needs. This work also includes providing guidance and support to parents of neurodiverse children.
