How It Works

We know starting speech and language therapy can feel daunting. Below you’ll find a clear overview of how the process works, from your initial enquiry through to ongoing support.

The process starts with an enquiry via the website or email. I’ll ask a few brief questions to understand your concerns and check that Honeypot Practice is the right fit for your child.

If appropriate, we’ll discuss next steps and availability.

Initial Assessment

If you decide to proceed, your child will be booked in for an initial assessment.

Before the session, parents are asked to complete a detailed case history form. This helps me build a clear picture of your child’s development, strengths, and areas of concern, and ensures assessment time is used effectively.

The assessment is tailored to your child and may include a combination of play-based activities, observation, and formal or informal assessment tasks, depending on what is most appropriate.

Report

Following the assessment, I will write a comprehensive report.

This report clearly outlines:

  • your child’s current communication skills

  • identified strengths and areas of need

  • practical, evidence-based recommendations

  • suggested next steps

Reports can be shared with schools or other professionals where helpful, and can be used to support further planning or decision-making.

Therapy

If therapy is recommended and you would like to continue, we will agree a therapy plan together.

Therapy sessions are usually delivered in school, with online therapy offered where appropriate. Sessions are child-led, engaging, and tailored to your child’s individual needs.

Parents receive regular updates following sessions, so you know what has been worked on and how progress is being supported. Where appropriate, practical strategies may be shared to support consistency across home and school.

Ongoing Review

Progress is reviewed regularly, and therapy plans are adjusted as your child develops.

I work collaboratively with parents and schools to ensure support is consistent, realistic, and embedded into everyday environments.
