A little about me, I'm Rinay, a Speech and Language Therapist with over six years of experience across the UK and South Africa. I have worked within the NHS, independent practice, schools, and universities, taking on both clinical and leadership roles.

I support children with a wide range of communication and swallowing needs, including Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC), speech sound disorders, Developmental Language Disorder (DLD), Cerebral Palsy, and Profound and Multiple Learning Disabilities (PMLD). I am trained in dysphagia and the SOS Approach to Feeding, and I have experience using Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC), including power-based AAC.

My approach is child-led and neurodiversity-affirming, with a strong focus on building trusting relationships and creating supportive, inclusive environments where children and families feel safe, understood, and empowered.

Alongside my clinical work, I deliver training to parents, school staff, and professionals, and provide supervision to students and junior therapists. I am passionate about multidisciplinary collaboration and working closely with families and professional teams to achieve meaningful outcomes.

I am registered with the HPCSA and HCPC, and I am a member of RCSLT and ASLTIP. My long-term goal is to establish a speech and language therapy practice offering these services in South Africa.
