About Me

My name is Ceris Clark. I have a First Class BSc in Speech & Language Therapy and a First Class BSc in Psychology.

I qualified as a speech and language therapist in 2016 and worked within the NHS until the end of 2024.

I have specialist skills in assessing and treating a broad range of communication difficulties, with a particular interest in speech sound disorders, stammering and developmental language disorder.

I have a wealth of experience providing training to parents, nursery and school staff on a range of topics related to speech, language and communication.

• Palin Parent Child Interaction Therapy, for children who stammer (completed with the Michael Palin Centre)

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for children and young people who stammer (completed with the Michael Palin Centre)

• Direct Approaches for Children Who Stammer

• VERVE Child Interaction therapy

• The links between language development and trauma

• Gestalt Language Processing

• The Cycles Approach to treating speech sound disorders

My Values

It has been my experience that collaborative working always leads to the best outcomes. Parents are the expert on their child and I bring expert knowledge on speech, language and communication. Together, we can effect real change.

I take a holistic view when I work with a child, considering them as an individual and building a picture of them as a whole. This means viewing their communication in the context of their wider development, as well as the different environments in which they communicate.

It is important to me that the techniques I use are effective, up-to-date and supported by current research.

I find that the most successful therapy happens following a thorough assessment. Whilst this may mean the assessment stage takes a little longer, it helps us to pick the right goals and make faster progress once therapy begins.
