We can offer both in-person and virtual appointments, where appropriate.

Our neurological speech and language therapists are based at The National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, one of the top neurology hospitals in the world, as ranked by Newsweek magazine. All our therapists are highly trained in adult neurorehabilitation and have many years of experience working with patients with complex neurological conditions.
Working within a specialist hospital group means that we work closely with other experts, including neurologists, physiotherapists, and ENT specialists. This multidisciplinary approach enables us to assess and treat your needs holistically and create a tailored therapy programme for you.
All our treatment options are evidence-based and designed to deliver the best possible outcomes for your speech, language, and swallowing.
To be seen as an outpatient, you must have a neurological diagnosis and, ideally, a referral from a GP, embassy, or consultant or written evidence of your neurological condition. If you are unclear, please give us a call, and we will be able to guide you.
