Testimonials
“"Great speech therapist. Was really able to get at the source of my issues and show me how to improve.
Started off by setting out goals to achieve, then specifically set out to cater for those particular goals.
Highly recommend - Kezia has a good understanding of how people develop stammers and good approaches to reduce / eliminate stress of potential stammering and generally improve speech confidence.
I've learned just to slow down, not let anxiety get the better of me, and persevere with not avoiding words.”

“I was really pleased with the session I had with Kezia, which was very quick and easy to book onto.
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.
We covered a lot of things in the time available, including new physical exercises to try, but also techniques that helped me to reduce my anxiety, slow my breathing – and work on the mental side. I am feeling the benefits of this now, and would highly recommend Kezia to anyone experiencing similar issues.”

“Kezia very kindly helped Dad, who's now progressed in a short period of time in both speech and swallowing, since his stroke.
Kezia was very kind and all the therapy sessions dad received were suited to his ability for speech and swallowing since his stroke. Now back on solid foods and words coming thick and fast. He's now even able to answer the phone with more words coming every day.
Kezia dealt with everything in a professional manner, ensuring Dad was in the loop and explained all. Nothing could be improved. Thanks Kezia.“

“Following a stroke my speech and language skills were compromised. When leaving hospital I started speech and language therapy with Kezia immediately.
I found Kezia to be professional, kind, compassionate and patient. During the therapy sessions I was able to relax in Kezia’s company and this really helped with my speech.
Before my stroke I was a very confident person and Kezia helped me to regain the confidence I needed to communicate. Kezia was also able to provide the reassurance I needed that I was making a good recovery.
I was lucky that with the professional help from Kezia I was able to make a good recovery.”

“I was diagnosed with muscle tension dysphonia which meant my speaking voice was unstable and would become croaky or would disappear. I was convinced it was age related and something which could not be improved and was very sad to think that I would no longer be able to continue my hobby of singing in a choir.
Kezia was able to give me the tools to strengthen my voice with breathing techniques, vocal exercises and help to eliminate excessive throat clearing and acid reflux.
With her positive attitude and encouragement I have noticed a marked improvement in only a couple of weeks and am continuing to practise the techniques she advised.
My meetings with Kezia have been informative and constructive and have given me the confidence to improve my condition.
I consider Kezia Lawson to be a conscientious, knowledgeable and professional practitioner and would recommend her unreservedly.“

“Kezia is a fantastic coach who has really helped me move forward after a difficult period in my life. I felt a bit lost and was recommended Kezia by a friend. I wasn't really sure what I wanted to achieve but knew I needed to get a focus back in my life and strike a balance with my job, family and myself.
Kezia is friendly and professional and so easy to talk to which really helped me to be honest with myself which in turn enabled her to support me with the tools I needed to help me move forward.
I would highly recommend Kezia as a life coach and really look forward to continuing my journey with her.“

“Coaching sessions with Kezia have been excellent in helping me bring all my anxieties and worries and doubts out forward without being judged for it, I felt like I was in a safe space when discussing solutions to some of the issues I faced.
Sometimes even though there was no solution, the fact that a particular issue was off my chest improved my mood, I would then feel happier afterwards.
If I hadn't had these coaching sessions with Kezia I would have tried to find other destructive and alternative ways to deal with or even ignore the problems I faced which isn't healthy.
As a young adult coming out of teenagehood, it has been challenging facing the world outside the safety and comforts of home, Kezia has helped me through that journey and I appreciate that,
During the sessions, Kezia emitted a positive energy that really made me feel comfortable to share my issues.“

“Kezia helped me to make sense of my thoughts and understand the root of what was really holding me back in my business. Thanks to her I was able to change my perception and finally find a way to move forward towards my goal.
She has an incredible positive energy, I felt safe and welcome to dig deeper and share my most secluded thoughts. Thank you Kezia.“
