Her deep expertise in PDA, Selective Mutism, and monotropic processing was evident from the very first session. She didn’t just see ‘behaviors’; she truly understood my son’s neurodivergent profile and the absolute necessity of an interest-led, low-demand approach. The entire process was seamless. Clare’s turnaround time was excellent, and she kept me well-informed and communicated clearly throughout what was a very stressful Tribunal journey. Her report was outstanding—clinically robust yet incredibly easy to understand. She managed to translate complex clinical needs into practical, actionable next steps that actually make sense for a child who struggles with traditional environments. In a legal setting, her evidence was invaluable; her recommendations were so clear and well-evidenced that the Judge agreed to ‘mirror’ them directly into the final EHCP. If you are looking for a specialist who understands ‘the heart of the child’ while providing the professional clarity needed to secure their future, Clare is the expert you need. I cannot recommend her highly enough."Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Clare carried out a tribunal assessment for my daughter’s EHCP, and the whole experience was extremely positive. She has a wealth of insight into neurodiverse communication profiles, and my daughter found her very easy to work with. Clare is approachable, calm and genuinely understands how to put young people at ease during the assessment process. The turnaround time was excellent — we received the report very quickly — and it was clear, well-structured and easy to understand, while still being detailed and clinically robust. Overall, it was a very smooth and supportive process, and I would highly recommend Clare to other parents.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. During my son's assessment, Clare really listened to me and interpreted my views accurately. She was calm, friendly and patient when my son was not responding to her prompts. It was a very successful assessment, and allowed me to discover what my son can do and what he finds difficult. I am happy with the report and confident that it will help me receive the help my son needs. Thank you, Clare!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very professional and knowledgeable. Very useful and thorough report for EHCP purposes. Report came through quickly.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was allocated Clare through my solicitor for private salt assessments for tribunal. Clare was really good at engaging my pda children as we were allocated her for 2 seperate children both with really different needs. She really managed to summarise the children very well, in her reports she has captured the children's needs and struggles amazingly well through my own forms, forms that were supplied to the school and from her own observations. She took time with each child and was very good and getting them to engage and stopping for them to have a break. The report was very easy to understand and she identified needs that hadnt been identified previously including a severe receptive and expressive communication disorder, the assessments themselves helped to place exactly where each child is struggling and where they need extra support. I feel her reports will be vital in securing the specialist placements my children desperately need. We had the first report the same day my daughter was assessed, my sons was abit longer but that was down to Clare waiting for school to submit there forms so she could finish her report. I was abit wary of my children being assessed via video link as I thought there needs may not be captured fully but Clare definitely has captured them and more that we didnt see before.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We worked with Clare for an independent Speech and Language Therapy assessment as part of an EHCP appeal for our son, who is non-verbal and has complex communication needs. The report was exceptionally clear, thorough, and thoughtfully written. It accurately reflected our son’s communication profile, sensory needs, and the level of support required. Importantly, it felt truly grounded in an understanding of autism and non-verbal communication, rather than relying on standardised assumptions. The assessment process was professional, sensitive, and respectful, and the final report was very helpful in clearly evidencing need within an EHCP context. We would highly recommend Clare to families seeking an independent SaLT assessment, particularly where clarity, accuracy, and a genuine understanding of complex needs are essential. Mrs. B.

Clare was instructed to provide an independent speech and language assessment and report as a part of our EHCP tribunal. As soon as she was in touch everything moved quickly, she was friendly, open and easy to communicate with via email and over the phone. It’s always a concern about how professionals will engage with my child with SEND, but Clare was very easy going and quickly built rapport with them during the assessment, putting any anxiety we had at ease. The report she has provided is detailed, relevant and quantifiable. I finally feel like my child’s communication needs have been seen. I’d highly recommend Clare and her service.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Clare completed an independent Speech and Language Therapy assessment and report for a SEN Tribunal, and the entire experience was outstanding from start to finish. The process was clear, extremely well-organised, and the turnaround time was excellent given the depth and quality of the work produced. Clare’s communication was exceptional throughout. She kept me fully informed at every stage, explained her role and the tribunal process clearly, and took the time to ensure I fully understood the assessment findings and recommendations. The report itself was of an exceptionally high standard. It was clear and easy to understand while also being robust, detailed, and strongly evidenced for tribunal purposes. Clare clearly identified my son’s speech and language needs and provided practical, needs-led recommendations with clear next steps that significantly strengthened our ability to advocate for him. Overall, working with Clare was an incredibly positive and reassuring experience during what can be a very stressful time. She is a highly skilled, professional, and compassionate Speech and Language Therapist, and I would not hesitate to recommend her to any family seeking outstanding, independent SALT input for a SEN Tribunal.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Claire was very trusting after so many failed assessments with the LA. Claire treated us with dignity and respect and was able to produce a really easy to read report within 24 hours. She is highly experienced with SEN children and I would recommend Claire to anyone and everybody!
