MY BACKGROUND

I graduated as a Speech and Language Therapist in 2020 at the Artevelde University College in Ghent, Belgium. Since, my degree has been recognised as comparable by the UK and Danish systems. Not quite done learning, I ventured to the UK to study for a master’s in psychology at Coventry University. My insights here have become invaluable to my speech and language therapy practice.

Simultaneously working as a speech and language therapist in Belgium, I studied for a year-long postgraduate degree (ESS) to immerse myself in the world of stuttering. I am passionate about helping clients who stutter, and I continue learning as much about it as possible!

Originally from Belgium, I moved to Denmark and now continue my work in English, Dutch, and French in Copenhagen. I offer therapy in person and via telepractice, both for children and for adults. 

My values include qualitative therapy with a solid evidence base and continuous learning through courses, reading, and intervision with my peers. Personalised practice is also a vital ingredient in my therapy recipe. We build a treatment plan together, based on mutual consultation, to perfectly fit your or your child’s needs.

SPEECH AND LANGUAGE THERAPY AREAS

I deliver therapy within the following treatment areas:

• Stuttering and cluttering therapy
• Speech and voice therapy
• Children-specific therapy
  • Language disorders and advice on multilingualism
  • Learning disorders (reading, writing, and calculus)
• Adult-specific therapy
  • Neurological communication disorders (after stroke, trauma, neurodegenerative disease, …)
    • Aphasia
    • Dysarthria
    • Apraxia of speech
    • Cognitive communication disorders
  • Swallowing disorders (also: dysphagia)

Speech and Language Therapy is always preceded by a thorough assessment to provide the correct (differential) diagnosis. In children’s therapy, parents are involved in the process to maximise effectiveness. If so desired, adults are also allowed to bring anyone they’d like to support them to the sessions.

Most importantly, whatever the issue, the treatment is always aimed at real-life positive changes that make a real difference for you!
