Hello
Welcome to Little Words Speech and Language Therapy, based in Basingstoke, Hampshire. Little Words provides Speech and Language assessment, advice, training, 1:1 therapy and home/setting-based therapy programmes.
I offer services for children where there are concerns around language development, speech sounds including unclear speech, nasal speech and cleft palate and fluency/stammering in the under 7’s.
​
Appointments can be offered face to face in the family’s home, the child’s educational setting or via an online virtual appointment.
About Me
My name is Emma Cullen and I have worked in the NHS for over 19 years as a Paediatric Speech and Language Therapist. My area of specialism is working with preschool children and I have experience working with primary age children. My experience and enjoyment of working with families has led me to creating Little Words.
​
Understanding each child, how I can work with the family to support a child’s communication skills and seeing the child make progress is what brings me to work and enthuses me to keep learning in my profession.
I am a registered member of the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists, the Association of Speech and Language Therapists in Independent Practice and I am registered with the Health Care Professions Council. I have an enhanced clean DBS certificate.
Outside of my work I am a mum of 3 and spend much of my time on the side of a football pitch and driving my children from one activity to another whilst juggling all those other parental duties with my husband. I enjoy dancing and take the opportunity to enjoy a dance class as often as I can.
​
To avoid any conflict of interest I am not able to offer services to families who are on my active NHS caseload. If you are unsure if this is the case for your child, please contact me.
