"The ability to communicate is fundamental to learning, to relationships and to life chances. More than 10% of all children and young people, over 1.4 million in the UK, have communication difficulties."

​Taken from Bercow: Ten Years On - a report published in 2018 by I CAN, the children's communication charity, and the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists.

I qualified as a Speech and Language Therapist in 2008, initially working for the NHS in London, and later for 13 years at More House School in Frensham, Farnham. I have been in independent practice since 2015 and established Claire Sinclair Speech and Language Therapy in 2021.
 

I currently deliver therapy exclusively within a small number of schools, which allows me to build strong, collaborative relationships with teaching staff. This ensures therapy is embedded in the school day, making recommendations practical, meaningful, and sustainable. I am also able to offer bespoke training packages for schools, supporting staff to implement strategies and promote communication development across the whole setting.
 

Alongside my school-based work, I provide specialist assessments, including for Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs). I have completed Certified Expert Witness training through Bond Solon in association with Cardiff University, enabling me to produce expert witness reports that are clear, evidence-based, and compliant with professional and legal standards.

​​​

I am passionate about supporting children, their families and their educational settings. For me the most rewarding part of being a Speech and Language Therapist is not just witnessing the progress children make with their communication, but enabling them to recognise just how much they are capable of.
