About the Practitioner
10+ years of clinical experienceWith over a decade of clinical experience, I founded Neurological Communication Partners to bring focused, evidence-based speech and language therapy to adults navigating Parkinson’s disease, stroke recovery and cognitive change — on either side of the Atlantic.
My approach blends rigorous clinical practice with the kind of listening that genuinely changes outcomes. We set goals together. We track progress honestly. And we celebrate the small wins that compound into real, lived independence.

In their own words
Every story is unique — but the goal is always the same: more confidence, more clarity, and more connection in everyday life.
“After my stroke, putting words together felt like wading through mud. Six months in, my husband says I sound like myself again — and I believe him.”

“Kathleen made the voice exercises feel less like therapy and more like reclaiming a part of me. My grandkids can hear me on the phone now without asking me to repeat myself.”
