Supervision

One-off Supervision

Having worked in the Evelina London Cleft Service based at St Thomas' Hospital, London from 2003 to 2024, I have specialist skills, knowledge and experience in the following areas of Speech and Language Therapy:

Cleft lip and palate
Active nasal fricatives
22q11 deletion syndrome
Non cleft velopharyngeal dysfunction for speech

Within that service, I regularly provided training, supervision and advice sessions for Speech and Language Therapists working with our patients across the South East of England. I would love to continue this within my independent practice and am therefore able to offer one-off supervision sessions in the areas of cleft palate, active nasal fricatives, non cleft velopharyngeal dysfunction for speech and 22q11 deletion should you be looking for training, support, guidance and/or reassurance when working in these areas.

I am able to provide supervision sessions online via Zoom and in person if you are based in Hertfordshire. Please contact me for further information, as I am always keen to share my knowledge and experience of these clinical areas with others!

Supervision Testimonials

"I contacted Zoe for a one off supervision session to discuss a child with active nasal fricatives. Zoe actively listened to my clinical reasoning and what I had already done with the child and offered reassurance when I was feeling unsure about the steps I had taken. I found Zoe's supervision so useful, it gave me ideas for therapy and made me feel more confident in supporting this child and their family. Thank you so much!" June, 2024

"Zoe was so accommodating in terms of time to see me, and also when my Zoom did not connect! Her experience with children who have Active Nasal Fricatives was invaluable and she gave me such sound advice. Thank you Zoe!" June, 2024
