About Speech Matters

Speech Matters Speech Therapy is an independent Speech and Language Therapy practice providing assessment, diagnosis and therapy for adults with communication difficulties. We work with you, your family and your care team to provide highly individualised treatment to maximise your communication potential.

We strongly believe that communication is a fundamental human right and that you should be able to communicate what you want, when you want and how you want. We work hard to make this an achievable goal.

Working closely with service providers, such as day centres and care homes, we provide bespoke training packages and person-specific advice. We work to develop team knowledge, skills and ultimately improve the lives of the people they interact with.

What to expect

We start with a free 15 minute consultation to figure out if we’re the right team for you. We will then arrange an initial assessment session during which we will take a full case history, liaise with other healthcare professionals and carry out a full assessment of your communication strengths and needs.

How we work with you

We can work with you over video or face to face in the comfort of your own home. Given the current pandemic will wear appropriate PPE for every visit to keep you and your family safe. We will develop an evidence-based plan with you that will best meet your goals.

Creating long-term solutions

We will equip you with the strategies and tools to continue to support your communication difficulties, even after therapy has ended. We can provide a full report of your assessment results and therapy outcomes.
