Paediatric Speech Therapy in
Southwest London
Trusted by families across London, and the UK
We are a small team of experienced, passionate speech & language therapists based in Battersea, Wandsworth.
We understand that starting speech therapy can be daunting, overwhelming, and full of questions. It is our job to work in partnership with you to support your child and their unique communication profile. Championing the things they are brilliant at, whilst supporting the things that are hard.
We take a child-centred play-based approach, meaning children rarely know they are learning, and think they are just with us to have fun!
We support children aged 2+ with a range of difficulties and differences, including:
Speech sound difficulties (articulation/ pronunciation)
Language skills (vocabulary/ grammar/ syntax)
Comprehension (following instructions/ answering questions)
Social communication (maintaining friendships/ self-advocacy/ initiating and maintaining conversations)
Attention and listening skills (sustaining attention to tasks/ attention control)
We support children with a range of existing diagnoses including:
Autism
ADHD
Developmental Language Disorder
Speech Sound Disorders
Speech Delay
Language Delay
Hearing loss/ hearing impairment

Emma Pomroy
CLINICAL LEAD
HIGHLY SPECIALIST SPEECH & LANGUAGE THERAPIST
Hi I’m Emma, a Highly Specialist Paediatric Speech and Language Therapist.
I ADORE what I do. I truly feel that effective communication skills are crucial to a happy and healthy life. What is more important that being able to express when you’re hurt, or telling someone you love them?! Working with families and helping their children express their needs, ideas and feelings is such a gift. The fact that this is done through the medium of play makes it even better!
Outside of work, you can find me running along the thames…usually to find a spot for coffee or wine!

Sioban Zacharek
SPECIALIST SPEECH AND LANGUAGE THERAPIST
Hi, I'm Sioban, a Paediatric Speech and Language Therapist and I have worked in both adult and children's services.
Communication is such a vital part of life, and I feel incredibly fortunate to help children find their voices and support families in this journey. Working with children is a joy, and being part of their development is a privilege.
Outside of work, I love staying active and being outdoors. Whether it's boxing in the gym or simply going for a walk, being in nature helps me recharge and stay energised!

Eleni Viso
SPECIALIST SPEECH AND LANGUAGE THERAPIST
Hi, I’m Eleni, a Speech and Language Therapist.
Working with children has been a dream of mine since I was a child myself, so I feel incredibly lucky to have turned that dream into reality. I believe communication is at the heart of confidence and meaningful connections, which is why I enjoy working with families to support each child’s growth.
I’m passionate about empowering children to express themselves through engaging, fun activities that encourage them to explore who they are and reach their full potential.
Outside of work, I enjoy exploring new places, spending time in nature, and dancing.

Louise Spurdell
HIGHLY SPECIALIST SPEECH AND LANGUAGE THERAPIST
I'm Louise, a Speech and Language Therapist.
I am passionate about my work and enjoy collaborating closely with families to support each child’s individual strengths and needs through therapy that is both effective and fun. I believe that play-based, meaningful therapy creates joyful interactions that supports the confidence to communicate.
Outside of work, you’ll usually find me on a yoga mat or taking a long walk through one of London’s many green spaces. I’m also partial to a bit of karaoke - singing is great for endorphins, even if you can’t sing!
