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.
