We specialise in Telehealth (online speech therapy) for anyone in the UK. We also provide in-person services in our Manchester clinic and across Greater Manchester, including Stockport and Tameside. We treat a wide variety of conditions including:
Adults – What We Treat
Communication difficulties related to neurological conditions such as stroke, brain injury, Parkinson’s disease and dementia
Neurological conditions such as stroke, brain injury, Parkinson’s disease, and dementia can significantly affect communication, making everyday tasks, work and relationships more challenging. Speech Therapy HQ are here to help, providing you with evidence-based, individualised therapy to get you back to being you, sooner.
Aphasia
Understanding or expressing yourself with language can be difficult after stroke or brain injury. Aphasia can impact verbal or written language. This might look like difficulty finding the right words, understanding complex sentences, or getting letters mixed up when writing. We provide the tools to recover the skills you need, faster.
Dysarthria
Parkinson’s disease, stroke and motor neurone disease (MND) can cause ‘slurred’ or ‘mumbled’ sounding speech. You don’t have to struggle with the frustration of being misunderstood. Our highly specialist therapists can help you express yourself authentically and make yourself heard.
Cognitive communication disorders
Dementia, multiple sclerosis (MS), brain injuries and many other conditions can cause communication challenges due to difficulties with thinking and processing information. We can empower you and those around you to support your communication skills with a range of evidence based communication tools.
Dyspraxia
Complex motor plans are required to produce clear speech. After stroke, head injury or a brain tumour, coordination of the sequence of movement needed for speech can be affected. You know exactly what you want to say but your mouth and tongue don’t get the message. It’s ok, we can help you create new pathways to get your message across clearly.
Our expert speech and language therapists provide comprehensive assessment and therapy to help you optimise your communication skills and quality of life. We use evidence-based strategies tailored to your needs, supporting your independence and quality of life. Whether you prefer the convenience of online therapy or the personal touch of face-to-face sessions, we’re here to help you and your family every step of the way.
Voice disorders
Struggling with hoarse or croaky voice, vocal fatigue, or other changes to your voice?
Voice disorders can arise due to overuse, neurological conditions, or illness. Many teachers, call centre workers or professional voice users may find their voice breaking by the end of the day. Private speech therapy with our expert speech and language therapists helps restore healthy voice quality and build vocal confidence. Online voice therapy is convenient, discreet, and tailored to your unique needs, making it easier than ever to access professional support.
Stammering / stuttering or Situational mutism
Stammering or stuttering can arise from neurological conditions or may have been present since childhood. Stammering/ stuttering can impact your confidence and daily communication. Our online stuttering therapy offers proven techniques to improve speech fluency, reduce anxiety, and empower you to speak with ease in all areas of your life. Whether you’re seeking stuttering modification therapy or fluency shaping, our online speech therapy for adults provides flexible, supportive care that fits your schedule.
Situational mutism (also known as selective mutism) is a difficulty speaking verbally, dependent on specific environments. Our expert therapists can help you build confidence in communication anywhere with anyone.
Communication difficulties relating to cancer and laryngectomy
Cancer treatments and laryngectomy can lead to significant changes in speech and swallowing. Our speech and language therapists are experienced in helping adults adapt to new ways of communicating, including alternative voice methods and communication devices. With private online or in-person speech therapy, you receive compassionate, expert care throughout your cancer journey, supporting both communication and emotional well-being.
Eating, drinking or swallowing difficulties in adults
Eating, drinking or swallowing problems (dysphagia) can arise from many causes including neurological conditions, critical illness, frailty, myopathies and more. Dysphagia can lead to serious health risks such as choking, chest infections and pneumonia. Our therapists offer thorough assessments and work with you to rehabilitate or manage your swallowing difficulty, with a range of evidence based approaches. Personalised swallowing therapy can be provided online or at home. We provide practical advice and training to help you eat and drink safely, improving your nutrition and quality of life. Fear not foodies, we are here for you!
Weaning from tracheostomy
Tracheostomy weaning requires a high level of support to ensure safe and effective rehabilitation. Our highly trained therapists work closely with your team to optimise your airway management, focusing on restoring voice and swallowing. We help you transition safely and smoothly back to independence and a tracheostomy-free life!
Children – What We Treat
Speech sound disorders
Is your child difficult to understand or do they struggle to produce certain sounds?
Our private speech therapy for kids targets speech sound delays and disorders, helping children produce sounds clearly and communicate confidently. Sessions are interactive, engaging, and tailored to your child’s needs, making speech therapy fun and effective from the comfort of your own home online, in person or in our Manchester clinic.
Language delays and disorders
Children with language delays or disorders may have trouble expressing themselves or understanding others. Language disorders can impact learning, making friends and confidence. Our experienced therapists provide personalised language therapy, supporting your child’s development through interactive online sessions or face-to-face appointments, whichever works best for your family.
Social communication differences, including autism
We are a neurodiversity affirming team. Social communication differences can impact on accessing learning, maintaining friendships and classroom participation. Our approachable therapists use a holistic approach, combined with evidence-based approaches to promote regulation, build social understanding and support those around them to optimise their communication environment. All services are available through online therapy or in-person sessions for maximum flexibility and support.
Stammering/stuttering or Situational mutism
If your child repeats sounds or words or struggles to get their words out at all, they may have a stammer or stutter. Situational mutism (also known as selective mutism) is difficulty communicating in particular contexts or enviornments. Our expert online speech therapy for kids offers specialised therapy to help you and support your child with confident, clear communication, wherever they are!
Voice disorders
If your child experiences hoarseness, voice changes or loses their voice regularly, our online speech therapy for kids offers specialised voice and therapy.
