About Willow Tree Therapy Services
At Willow Tree Therapy Services, I use a combination of evidence based therapeutic approaches, individualised for each child, to support them to connect with others and feel heard, confident, and respected. I am passionate about helping not only the children I see, but also, their entire support network, their family, and staff at their schools. Parents and caregivers are given strategies and skills to supplement and support treatment in order to provide the most effective outcome. Like you, I want your child to reach their full potential, to be able to communicate and feel heard, to find joy in human connection, and to experience a fulfilling life.
Based in East Yorkshire, I work across the Yorkshire and Humber regions, offering a range of services for children with speech, language, and communication needs (SLCN), providing assessment, diagnosis, reports, home therapy programmes and individual therapy, in person or online.
I work with children aged between 0 and 18 years, who have a range of communication difficulties, covering the following clinical areas:
- Attention and Listening difficulties
- Augmentative and alternative communication
- Autism
- Developmental Language Disorder (previously known as Specific Language Impairment, Language Disorder, Developmental language impairment)
- Expressive language delay
- Learning Disabilities
- Receptive language delay
- Selective mutism
- Social communication disorder
- Speech sound delays and disorders
More than just therapy
Willow Tree Therapy Services is excited to be able to offer two fantastic, brand new clinic rooms for hire. These are available for a variety of different days and times, for anyone needing a calm, peaceful space to work with clients. In the summer of 2023 there will also be a beautiful new, sensory room for private hire for client’s to enjoy with their families and caregivers.
Set just outside of the village of Skirlaugh, in East Yorkshire, Willow Tree clinic is a brand-new building, set within 5 acres of land where there are resident ducks, goats, alpacas, and in the near future, donkeys, to see. The building itself consists of two clinic rooms, a (soon to be) sensory room, a small waiting area, toilet facilities and a small kitchen with tea and coffee making facilities. There is adequate parking on site for a number of vehicles and access at agreed times to the land and the animals.
The clinic rooms have been designed to be communication friendly with calm, neutral colours and can be hired on an hourly, half day or full day basis. Longer term contracts can also be considered.
The unique sensory room will have a range of bespoke equipment, creating both a calming and interactive atmosphere for children and young people to relax and self-regulate in a safe environment.
Services for children and professionals
Assessment
A free, no obligation telephone consultation can provide you with information about the services I provide, and help me to begin to develop an understanding of your child’s needs to determine if an assessment is appropriate.
Therapy
Following an in-depth and comprehensive assessment of their communication skills, I will discuss all your child’s speech, language, and communication targets with you, and together we will agree on an individual treatment plan tailored to your child’s specific strengths and difficulties.
Animal Assisted Therapy
I am very excited to soon be offering Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT). AAT is a structured, goal-directed intervention in which an animal is incorporated as an integral part of the treatment process. I have 3 lovely ducks, 4 cheeky goats and 4 fluffy alpacas all ready and waiting to be my co therapists.
Clinic Room Hire
There are two fantastic, brand new clinic rooms at Willow Tree Therapy Services available to hire. There is a small waiting area, toilet facilities and access to a small kitchen with tea and coffee making facilities.
