Testimonials

Emma Carter
Case Manager - HACM Ltd

"I am an independent case manager and have been using the input of both Heather and Helen through Communicate for many years. I have found them excellent with clients, families and professionals.

They have a wealth of knowledge and would be an asset to any person who appoints them. I could not recommend them enough."

Isabella Wayte
Parent

"A friend of mine who worked at a school recommended Heather and she and the team really were my guardian angels. Not only did she get Jacob communicating and talking but she helped me and our SENCO through the whole process of getting Jacobs EHCP. It was clear it wasn’t just a job, there was a real personal touch and willingness to do the best for Jacob."

Sally Chaffey
Clinical Specialist Neuro-Physiotherapist

"Although we both work as individual practitioners, it is very clear that Helen is proactive at being part of the client’s team. This includes regular updates, collective problem solving discussions and joint sessions.

This holistic approach not only optimises the client’s recovery but makes her a pleasure to work with."

Russ Whittaker
OT & Assistive Technology Consultant

“I’ve had the pleasure of working alongside Heather and her colleague Helen for more than a decade, and I can confidently say they are exceptional speech and language therapists. Their dedication to their clients is truly inspiring. They both possess a remarkable ability to connect with individuals of all ages and abilities, creating a supportive and encouraging environment for growth."
