Children's Speech & Language Therapy in Cheshire

"Claire works very effectively with my young son. She links in very well with school in terms of his targets, as well as keeping me informed. My son enjoys the sessions he has with Claire and is making good progress. I would certainly recommend Claire as a speech and language therapist."

"Claire Hawkins has been invaluable for my son. Communication has always been a challenge for him. She has helped him make so much progress in how he interacts with other people, manages his emotions, and handles day-to-day situations at school and at home. The difference in his confidence and overall happiness is impressive. She has also taken the initiative to work closely with his school, making sure the right support is actually put in place. We're genuinely grateful for the impact she has had. Her approach is also lovely and always based on understanding and kindness. I would strongly recommend her to anyone."

"From the moment I spoke with Claire about my little boy's speech and language delay, I knew we'd made the right choice. She has been incredible—supporting him from age three, using communication boards, Makaton and play-based modelling, to now, where he happily speaks in sentences and grows in confidence every day. Claire also supports his teachers, TAs and us as parents, ensuring everyone works together. Her guidance, resources and realistic targets show how well she knows him and how to help him progress. Claire is truly special to us, and we are so grateful for the progress he has made."

"We contacted Claire after our son was diagnosed with DLD. Claire makes the therapy engaging and fun - our son looks forward to every session. Claire not only works with him but also his school and us as parents. The results of her work have been incredible. His development in his speech and language has been remarkable and we cannot recommend her enough."

"We have been seeing Claire for nearly four years now, I remember the first time meeting her… Claire was so happy, bubbly and eager to play… I knew this was exactly what our son needed to help support him but also someone he would take to and he did, instantly. Claire is so much more than Speech and Language though, she has supported us as a family, she has supported the teachers in his school and most importantly she continues to support him as he progresses. We value Claire's input hugely and have learnt so much from her. We have a long way to go still with his speech but with the help of Claire we will get there in time."

"We can't recommend Claire enough! She's the best! She has been an integral part of our daughter's development and growth over the past 6 years. Claire has a wealth of knowledge and understanding of speech and language and I trust her implicitly. Our daughter has made remarkable progress under the guidance and care of Claire. We are so fortunate to have found her when we did."

"The progress my son has made working with Claire has been incredible! A year on and he now pronounces his speech sounds clearly and no longer feels frustrated at being misunderstood. Claire's weekly sessions are fun and relaxed; she adapts quickly depending on my son's mood/needs and keeps him engaged. I'm so pleased we didn't wait for an NHS appointment (still waiting) and instead approached Claire, it has been such a worthwhile investment. Thank you Claire, I am forever grateful for your help and we will miss seeing you and your bag of games on a Friday!"
