Alice Cantwell
I am a Specialist Speech and Language Therapist and Autism Consultant. I have been practicing since 2016, I am a registered member of the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists (RCSLT) as well as a member of the Health Care Professions Council (HCPC)
I am also a mum to my beautiful boy Milo, who has furthered my passion of early language and the key concepts that I follow to support language and communication development.
Core values
There are many values that I base my practice around. The most important one to me is that every person has the right to communication. I make it my priority to facilitate that for those who can't or struggle with this. I believe in a client centred approach, I have my evidence based theories and practice, but I am flexible in that I can adapt those to the client, making the work I do with clients work for them. I am an approachable person who genuinely cares for all my clients and wants the best for them.
Areas of interest
I am first and foremost a Speciliast Speech and Language Therpist with interests in working with children with autism, special needs. However, I really enjoy working with clients with speech/language delays/disorders.
Alongside my private practice I am a Neurodevelopmental Practitioner, meaning that I assess children and young people for autism.
