Speech Language and Communication Consulting

No matter how young or old you are, successfully communicating with those around you is the key to a contented, successful life. 

When children experience difficulty learning to communicate, this can lead to a range of daily challenges at home, at school and with developing friendships. 

For adults who have experienced a medical or traumatic event that has impacted speech and/or language skills life can be in turmoil. 

If you or someone you know is having difficulty communicating, I can advise and support you.

Managing children with communication difficulties in the classroom is no easy task!! With several years experience working in schools maybe I can provide some useful strategies?  If you are looking for advice for children with communication and/or behavioural challenges, please don't hesitate to send an enquiry. 

Understanding triggers, and behavioural intentions can be the start of more successful interactions. Working on specific communication strategies may help to eliminate behavioural issues all together. If this sounds interesting contact me on info@rachel-loyez.com

Please note: This is not a service for specific children but general support and strategies for enhancing the communication environment. 

"We have been working with Rachel to support my 3 year old's speech development, and I can't recommend her highly enough. With NHS waiting times over two years and private services also having long waitlists, we were incredibly grateful that Rachel was able to offer support sessions via video. The remote sessions have been tailored specifically to my son's needs, and the progress in his speech has been clear and steady. Rachel provides clear, practical guidance for what we can do at home, which has made a huge difference. She's professional, knowledgeable and truly dedicated - we feel very lucky to have found her" Leanne, Yorkshire.

"My 9 year old son had been having problems with his voice and he was diagnosed with nodules on his vocal cords. We didn't know what to do and though we had some speech and language therapy advice we wanted more and so we approached Rachel. She gave us, as a family advice and everyday strategies, plus one to one sessions with our son via video link to help him understand better how to look after his voice. His voice has improved significantly. When he overuses his voice he now knows how to regain smoothness by applying the guidance Rachel supplied" Kathryn and Adam, West Sussex.
