Hi, I’m Kezia.

I help people to transform their communication so they can have the friendships, relationships and careers they want.

I’m a Speech and Language Therapist with over a decade’s experience working with adults with speech, language, voice, swallowing and cognitive-communication impairments.

As a Communication Coach, I work with people who might not have a diagnosed speech or language impairment, yet feel held back by their communication and know that life would be more fulfilling if they could approach conversations with more confidence.

We can work together online or in person in Maidstone, Kent.

Let’s work together

Assessment and intervention for acquired disorders of communication and/or swallowing offered by experienced Speech and Language Therapists. We see people with neurological conditions, voice disorders, head and neck cancer, stammering/stuttering and more. Read more…

Unfortunately we are not currently able to offer Speech and Language Therapy for children.

Maybe you don’t have a diagnosed Speech and Language Therapy condition, but you feel your communication is holding you back in life. You might clam up in certain social situations and know you could achieve so much more in life if you were a more confident communicator.

As a qualified Life Coach, I help you to communicate with confidence and ease in order to form genuine connections with others. Read more…

If you are interested in working together, book a free 15 minute introductory session on Zoom to find out more.

How to communicate feeling calm, confident and in control

Client feedback


✨ "Great speech therapist - highly recommend. Kezia was really able to get at the source of my issues and show me how to improve. She has a good understanding of how to reduce/eliminate stress of potential stammering and generally improve speech confidence.” - Chris D ✨

✨ Having had voice problems for a number of months, I was starting to doubt whether progress could be made, but the session really helped me to see light at the end of the tunnel. I am feeling the benefits of this now, and would highly recommend Kezia to anyone experiencing similar issues. - Alex J. ✨

✨Before my stroke I was a very confident person and Kezia helped me to regain the confidence I needed to communicate. Kezia was professional, kind, compassionate and patient. - Linda M. ✨

✨With Kezia’s positive attitude and encouragement I noticed a marked improvement in my voice and only a couple of weeks. Kezia is conscientious, knowledgeable and professional and I would recommend her unreservedly. - Carole V.✨

Do you feel like your life would be much easier and more enjoyable if you could communicate more confidently and effectively?

Whether through Speech and Language Therapy or Communication Coaching, I help you to communicate to the best of your ability so that you can get on with living your life.

Frequently asked questions

  • There are various overlaps between Speech and Language Therapy and Communication Coaching.

    👉 All sessions are completely focused on you. Both services start with a conversation to identify the goals that are most important to achieve, considering the wider influence on your day-to-day life. Personalised action plans will be agreed based on your goals.

    👉 Both services draw on evidence from scientific and psychological fields, including learnings from neuroplasticity, motor learning and habit formation to result in maximum impact.  

    👉 We address any psychological as well as physical symptoms in both Speech and Language Therapy and Communication Coaching.

    So what’s the difference?

    Speech and Language Therapy

    The main focus of sessions tends to be to improve your communication skills in order to have more effective and enjoyable conversations with others. Your communication may be impaired due to a diagnosed condition.

    Communication Coaching

    The main focus of sessions tends to be to improve your confidence and create a positive mindset about your communication.

    I think I need both – how do I know which is more suitable for me?

    A bespoke package involving a combination of Speech and Language Therapy and Communication Coaching may be best suited for you. You may have symptoms you want to improve alongside working on improving your confidence and mindset around your communication.

  • This is very dependent on various factors, for example: your condition, the severity of your symptoms, your motivation and ability to practice between sessions, your level of support.

    For some, one session of advice is sufficient, whereas I have been seeing other clients for over a year.

    We will agree a plan that suits your budget and needs.

  • I can provide intervention whilst you wait to see an NHS Speech and Language Therapist. I request that when you receive an appointment with your NHS therapist that you let me know so that I can liaise with the NHS therapist to provide an appropriate handover.

    I understand that NHS services are often under pressure and unable to provide the intensity of therapy that you require. If you want to see me alongside your NHS Speech and Language Therapist, I am happy to offer additional input to supplement the care you are receiving. However I request that you inform me and your NHS therapist so that we can liaise and agree on the best approach to help you manage your condition.

  • I have a degree in Speech Science (2011) and a Masters in Clinical Research (2016) from the University of Sheffield.

    I trained as a Transformative Life Coach with Animas Centre for Coaching in 2021.

    I love learning and very regularly attend training courses, supervision sessions and complete a lot of extra reading in relevant fields.

  • Yes, I work as a treating Speech and Language Therapist for medicolegal cases. Case Managers are welcome to contact me for further information.

  • I am registered with Bupa, AXA Health, Aviva and Cigna. When you book an appointment, please let me know if you are hoping to use private healthcare cover. I will need your authorisation number prior to offering a session.

    Please note, this applies to adult clients only. I do not offer any services for children.

  • Sorry, I do not offer Speech and Language Therapy for children.

    I’m very aware of the difficulties accessing SLT for children and I really empathise, being a parent myself.

    I advise you take a look here for private paediatric SLTs who may be able to help, or seek an NHS referral via your GP.
