You will always find us calm, responsive, reassuring… and where appropriate, fun!

Our services always begin with a thorough initial assessment and detailed discussion of specific therapy goals. We use this information to create a personalised therapy session plan, which is regularly reviewed and may include certain activities to complete outside of session-time. If needed, we will also carry out observations in relevant settings, such as school, nursery, or the workplace. Additional reports can be discussed and provided as required.

Professional training can also be provided, for example to schools, care homes, family members or carers, on request.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lois delivered staff training for our Academy. She was enthusiastic and her delivery was outstanding. Lois gave lots of examples and clearly explained the impact of using visuals in the classroom. Staff went away with greater confidence in supporting pupils with speech and language difficulties and differences.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jo has been and is fantastic with my son’s speech lessons. Jo makes my son feel confident and his speech has come on so much. I couldn’t ask for a better speech school. I would recommend them to everyone honestly the best speech school.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My daughter has been attending Clarity Independent Speech and Language for a year now and we cannot fault the amazing progress she has made under them. From the initial assessment, sessions and booking, the professionalism is always a high standard and the staff truly care about your child and are very passionate about the progress they need to make.

Jess has helped my daughter gain confidence and language we didn’t know she would be able to understand and use. She has created a safe, trusting environment for her to thrive in. She is fantastic!

Nothing is ever too much and you are supported 100% I will continue to recommend these wonderful people to anyone and everyone who I meet who has a child who needs support with their speech and language.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My five year old's speech has really come on since going to see Jo in the Chelmsford practice. He's gone from not being able to say certain sounds to speaking really well. Jo uses pictures and games to really encourage and incentivise him and he loves showing her how he's getting on each time we visit. Highly recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I couldn't recommend more or be happier with Clarity especially Lois. We have been seeing her for a few years now both with school and at home and she is so friendly, helpful & knowledgeable and my little boy is always so excited to see her

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have been visiting for 18 months now with our daughter and have been delighted with the support we have received. It’s the first professional we have engaged with who has made us feel heard and fully understands her needs. Our daughter absolutely loves Lois and she has made so much progress, we couldn’t recommend her enough!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lois has been absolutely amazing! We’ve turned such a corner with our son, when before we felt like we were getting nowhere with his speech delay. It’s made a massive difference and I couldn’t recommend Clarity more :)
