Helping anxious or withdrawn children find their voice through consistent, collaborative support — at home, in school, and beyond.
Hi, I’m Mavish — the therapist behind Speech Therapy Talks.
I help children and young people unlock their communication potential through consistent, relationship-based support that’s tailored to who they are, not who the world expects them to be.
With a background in both speech and language therapy and child mental health, I bring a holistic approach to every session. I specialise in supporting anxious, withdrawn, and neurodivergent communicators, including children with selective mutism, autism, and ADHD.
Open, honest communication is at the heart of everything I do. From your first message to every step of therapy, you’ll be in touch directly with me — no middle layers, just real support from someone who truly cares.
Real progress happens when we work together — so I collaborate closely with families, schools, and caregivers to make communication support feel safe, sustainable, and truly effective in everyday life.
Let’s work together to help your child communicate with confidence
Our therapists have a history of working in Autism Diagnostic services to supplement the diagnosis process using ADOS.
Our experienced therapists support children with a range of speech difficulties.
We have a wealth of knowledge on language and have strategies for parents with ‘late talkers’ to older children with grammatical difficulties.
We provide in depth assessment, strategies and advice for parents and professionals working with individuals suffering from selective mutism.
Our therapists are members of the British Stammer Association and certified in Michael Palin’s Parent-Child Interaction.
As language and communication development does not necessarily follow the pattern of cognition we can provide updated assessment of your child’s language skills.
