I'm ADHD SLT
Hello! My name is Jamie. As a Neurodivergent Speech Therapist in Kent, I provide specialist speech and language therapy and assessments for ADHDers, autistic individuals, and anyone with speech, language, and communication needs. Alongside 1:1 clinical support, I also run the Subscriber Resource Library, an evolving collection of neurodiversity-affirming interactive games, digital activities, and printables for all ages, accessible with a 7-day free trial.

Subscriber Resource Library
An evolving collection of interactive games, scored activities, and printable speech and language resources. Created to take the overwhelm out of communication support, whether you are a therapist, educator, home-educating parent, or an individual navigating your own communication and self-advocacy needs.
My Training and Professional Development
I hold a First-Class Honours degree in Speech and Language Therapy and am registered with both the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists (RCSLT). As a Natural Language Acquisition trained clinician on the Meaningful Speech Register, I specialise in supporting gestalt language processors and their families.
My clinical practice is rooted in a deeply intersectional approach. I actively strive to embed anti-racism, anti-misogyny, and anti-ableism into every aspect of my work, ensuring therapy is equitable, safe, and truly neuroaffirming.
To support emotional wellbeing alongside communication, I am ACT-trained (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) and hold Level 2 Accreditation from the Association for Psychological Therapies. I regularly undertake specialist training, including assessing Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) needs in children with speech and language differences, as well as the RCSLT Mind Your Words course. I complete over 30 hours of professional development each year, alongside mandatory updates in safeguarding, data protection, and equality, to keep my practice reflective, evidence-based, and aligned with modern standards.
why lived experience matters
I know first-hand what it’s like to navigate a world not built for neurodivergent minds. That’s why I focus on supporting, not “fixing,” neurodivergent communication. My approach blends personal experience with professional expertise, ensuring therapy is neurodivergent-affirming, inclusive, and intersectional, adapting to each individual’s needs rather than forcing conformity.
(PS: ADHD SLT was named after my own neurodivergent journey!)

What Does a Neurodivergent-Affirming Speech Therapist in Kent Offer?

🌿 Core Principles of My Therapy:

Why I Don’t Use Compliance-Based Approaches
🚫 No ABA. No forced eye contact. No “quiet hands.”
Traditional therapy often focuses on compliance, control, and masking neurodivergent traits, but I don’t believe in that. Instead, my approach respects autonomy, natural communication styles, and self-advocacy.
🌞 What I DO focus on:
💬 Supporting authentic communication.
🌻 Encouraging self-expression in a way that feels comfortable.
❌ Rejecting therapies that cause harm or encourage masking.
This is a key reason why I founded ADHD SLT, to offer therapy that is affirming, empowering, and free from coercion.

How My Neurodivergent Experience Shapes My Work
Being diagnosed with ADHD later in life gave me first-hand insight into navigating the world without adequate support. Growing up undiagnosed meant I often felt misunderstood, a reality that many of my clients share.
💡 This experience fuels my approach:
💙 I create therapy spaces where neurodivergent people feel safe and valued.
🎁 I help clients communicate in ways that work for them, not just what’s expected.
📣 I focus on autonomy and self-advocacy so individuals feel empowered.

What Does It Mean to Be Neurodivergent-Affirming?
☀️ Seeing neurodivergence as an identity, not a set of symptoms to treat.
🌎 Adapting environments to meet the needs of the individual, rather than forcing them to adjust.
🚫 Rejecting interventions that encourage masking. This includes social skills programs that try to stop an ADHD person from fidgeting or push autistic individuals to make eye contact.

💖 Using validating language that acknowledges and respects all experiences.
🫶 Encouraging a positive self-identity.
