A few words about me

Hello, I’m Jo Oakley. I am a qualified children’s Speech and Language Therapist with 20+ years of experience. After qualifying from the University of central England in Birmingham in 2004 I first worked for the NHS. After 9 years there I set up my own private practice to fit in around my own growing family. I have worked in a variety of settings; clinics, homes, schools, specialist nurseries /schools and hospital.

I see clients in their home and also work regularly with schools. I can also provide a supportive commissioned service to schools through the local authority. I offer assessment, diagnosis and therapy to suit a range of ages and needs.

I aim to be flexible and can see your child at home, nursery or school. I have special interest in deafness and hearing impairment, having worked at a local deaf school for 2 years.

I am a mum of 2 teenagers. One has SEND so i have a wealth of experience with SEN, EHCPS, DLA etc!!
