Evidence-based speech, language and literacy services for Munich's English speaking community

Building skills for lifelong communication

As a Speech and Language Therapist / Logopädin, I help children and young people build the skills they need to understand and use language, communicate socially, and develop clear speech.


With additional training in literacy difficulties, my support can also extend to reading, spelling and writing skills, including for those diagnosed with dyslexia and dysgraphia.

Services I Offer


Explore the full range of Speech Therapy / Logopädie services I offer to support children and young people aged 1 to 18, including those growing up with more than one language and English-speaking families living abroad.

  • Comprehensive Assessment

    The first step when accessing Speech Therapy is your child attending a comprehensive initial assessment. This will help you better understand your child’s communication strengths and needs and informs the therapy goals your child will start working towards. 


    Children may require Speech Therapy support for: 

    • "Late" talking
    • Unclear speech
    • Using and/or understanding language (Developmental Language Disorder DLD)
    • Play skills and social interaction with peers 
    • Stuttering
    • Attention and listening skills
    • Reading, spelling and/or writing

    I also provide second-opinion assessments for multilingual children, where Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) can be harder to identify.

  • Individual Therapy Sessions

    Therapy sessions are structured around clear, achievable goals set in your child's therapy plan, with each session carefully planned to ensure your child’s progress. Activities are adapted to suit your child’s age, interests, and learning style, helping them stay engaged while building new skills step by step.


    For English-speaking expat families, my therapy uses the same materials, approaches, and documentation you are used to. This includes written therapy plans and IEP-style annual review reports, so your child receives the same support you are familiar with.

  • Training and Clinical Supervision

    Additional services I provide include parent coaching, workshops for school and kindergarten staff and professional supervision for practicing speech and language therapists.

My Approach

How I work, and what you can expect.

EVIDENCE-INFORMED

My approach is grounded in current research and best practice, while always being tailored to each child or young person's individual needs.

NEURODIVERSITY AFFIRMING

I respect and support different ways of thinking, communicating, and experiencing the world focusing on strengths, not “fixing” differences.

COLLABORATIVE

Therapy is a partnership. I work closely with families, kindergarten and school staff to set meaningful goals and make progress together.

TRANSPARENT

I communicate openly about goals, progress, and expectations, so you always feel informed, confident, and involved in your child's Speech Therapy programme.
