ABOUT ME
Hi! I'm Kasia (short for Katarzyna – hear my name). I grew up in Poland but have lived in the UK for almost 20 years. I’m bilingual, fluent in both English and Polish.
​
With a background in Speech and Language Therapy and Psychology, I tailor therapy to each child’s individual needs. I use evidence-based strategies and make sure sessions are engaging, fun, and matched to their interests. I aim to make children feel excited and motivated in order to learn and take part in our sessions.
​
I keep my knowledge and skills up to date by regularly attending courses and professional development activities so that my practice reflects the latest evidence and best practice.
​
I’m passionate about helping children unlock their potential and grow up happy and confident, with the same opportunities as their peers. I visit children at home and/or school, working closely with school staff and parents to ensure they feel supported and confident in helping their children communicate.
