Communication is essential for learning, relationships, work, and everyday life. At London Speech Therapy, we deliver expert speech therapy in Kensington and Chelsea for children, adults, and schools. Providing individualised support and therapy programmes empowers our clients to communicate confidently and achieve their goals. Our qualified therapists provide evidence-based assessments, therapy programmes, training, and ongoing support tailored to each person’s needs. Offering both face-to-face and online therapy sessions, we provide trusted speech and language therapy services accessible throughout Kensington and Chelsea.
Speech and language therapy for children
All children develop communication skills at different rates. However, some need extra help to achieve their communication potential. Our therapists work closely with families to better understand each child’s communication difficulty, identify individual strengths and goals, and develop interventions that will make a real difference.
Children who struggle with speech sounds, language skills, social communication, stammering, attention and listening skills, or feeding and swallowing can benefit from support. We use positive, engaging, and playful therapy programmes that are child-centred and practical. Our therapy sessions will help your child develop skills they can apply at school and at home.
Our assessments help us to understand your child’s strengths and difficulties. On this basis, we recommend an individualised therapy plan that may include one-to-one sessions with our therapists, strategies you can use at home, parent coaching, working directly with your child’s school, and much more. We know that parents and caregivers know their children best, which is why we work closely with families to ensure skills are carried across home and school environments.
Our therapists can work with children who have difficulties with:
- Speech sounds
- Language delay
- Autism and social communication
- Stammering
- Selective mutism
- Attention and listening skills
- Early language development
- Feeding and swallowing
No matter how long your child needs speech therapy in Kensington and Chelsea, our expert team can help them gain confidence and independence in communicating.
Speech therapy in Kensington and Chelsea for adults
Problems with communication can happen at any age. Adults can experience conditions like stroke, brain injury, Parkinson’s, MS, dementia, or head and neck cancers, which affect their ability to speak, swallow, or communicate easily. But we also see adults who have experienced communication difficulties since childhood. Whether your difficulties are recent or you have struggled with your speech, voice or confidence for years, we are here to help.
Our fully qualified speech and language therapists can assess and treat a wide range of communication difficulties and swallowing disorders. We work with adults to create practical strategies that you can use to overcome communication barriers and participate more fully in the things you love.
With personalised one-to-one therapy sessions, we can help with:
- Aphasia
- Voice disorders
- Dysarthria
- Dyspraxia
- Stammering
- Cognitive communication difficulties
- Dysphagia (swallowing disorders)
- Neurological disorders
Our therapists will create an individual treatment plan that is tailored to your goals. Whether that is returning to work, feeling confident in social situations, speaking more clearly, or managing a swallowing disorder, our experienced team will work with you to deliver practical therapy sessions that focus on your needs. So, whether you prefer in-person sessions at your home or clinic, or online therapy from the comfort of your own home, we can help.
Speech and language therapy services for schools
Ensuring children develop strong communication skills is important for school readiness and later academic progression. Speech, language and communication skills are foundational for literacy and learning, social skills and emotional wellbeing. By identifying and supporting children who struggle with these skills at school, we can help pupils better engage with the curriculum and interact with peers and teachers.
Our therapy services work with nurseries, primary and secondary schools, colleges and specialist provisions throughout London. Our specialists can offer targeted communication interventions for pupils who need that little extra help to thrive. By working closely with teachers and teaching assistants, we create interventions that can be implemented both during lessons and at home.
Our services include:
- Pupil speech and language therapy assessments
- One-to-one support and small group therapy sessions
- EHCP (Education, Health and Care Plan) assessments and statements
- Teacher training
- Supporting children and young people to become confident communicators
- Helping schools create communication-friendly environments
- Consultations with parents and caregivers
- Advising and working with Special Educational Needs Coordinators (SENCOs)
By training teachers and staff, London Speech Therapy helps schools ensure that speech and language therapy support becomes part of a child’s everyday learning. By following our personalised programmes, children often improve their academic engagement, social participation and confidence.

FAQs
1. How can I tell if my child needs speech therapy?
If your toddler has not started using words by 18 months, or your 3-year-old’s speech is still difficult for family members to understand, or your school-aged child is struggling to follow instructions or play happily with friends, then consider arranging an assessment. Catching these issues early means speech therapy in Kensington and Chelsea can close the gaps before they impact their education and confidence.
2. Can I still have speech therapy as an adult?
Yes. The adult brain can still learn and create new connections through neuroplasticity. Don’t let age stand in the way of your recovery. Whether a stroke, neurological diseases or you’ve lived with a stammer your whole life, our experienced team will focus on realistic goals to help you get your life back.
3. How do you work with schools?
Our therapists work directly with schools to become part of the daily routine. We can run student screenings, deliver 1:1 or small-group sessions, and manage the administrative side of the EHCPs. We also work with teachers and teaching assistants to ensure they can reinforce our work with pupils using easy, classroom-ready strategies.
4. Will I need a referral from my doctor?
Our private speech therapy in Kensington and Chelsea doesn’t require a GP/referral. You can get in touch directly to improve your child’s outcomes. This means we can set up your initial assessment without painful waiting lists.
5. Where will my session take place?
Whether you prefer sessions at home or school, we have a range of options to fit your family’s lifestyle. Based in West London, we can come to you at home, work with your child during their school/nursery day or provide online sessions through our teletherapy platform.
