About Me
My name is Charlotte Smith and my working life is dedicated to supporting children and families through the delivery of speech and language therapy.
After graduating with a BSc Hons. degree in Speech Pathology and Therapy from Queen Margaret University in 2005, I began working as a qualified therapist for the NHS delivering one-to-one and group support to children in a variety of clinical settings, schools and nurseries in north Cumbria.
Over the years I’ve had the pleasure of supporting multiple families in community clinics, schools and nurseries and treating children with additional needs. Every aspect of my therapy is based on absolute best practice and a commitment to continuing professional development.

"Charlotte has recently started working with our child who has a speech delay. After a few sessions she managed to establish not only a very good relationship with our child but also a creative, fun structure to his learning. Charlotte brings exciting bags of goodies to learn and play with. We are delighted with his progress and can confidently recommend Charlotte."
