HomeSpeech TherapistsSLT Time SLT Time Speech Therapist Title About my practice Visual Code Senior Speech and Language Therapist in Lucan Co Dublin– Now Accepting Referrals from Autumn 2025 A little about me: I am a Senior Speech and Language Therapist with over 25 years of experience working with children and their families. As a therapist I've worked in a variety of settings, including HSE clinics, preschools, schools and with families in their homes. I have extensive clinical experience supporting children and young people with speech, language, and communication delay, differences & difficulties. In addition, I provide Clinical Supervision and support to other Speech and Language Therapists, and have gained additional experience training other professionals and therapists across Ireland in Professional Supervision with the HSE from 2018-202. I've lectured on the area of Speech and Language Development to students in Dundalk IT. I'm registered with CORU, insured, and am a Member of the Irish Association of Speech and Language Therapists. I'm currently working part time to balance work with family life - I've a teen and a preschooler at home. Referrals: I welcome new referrals from parents and caregivers who are interested in assessment and/or therapy for their child or young person. Appointments can take place at a flexible therapy space at my home in Lucan, or in your home - I offer home visits within a 20-minute drive/ areas surrounding Lucan. If your child has already had a speech and language assessment done and you're wondering about therapy, we can discuss what your child might need next. If you are interested in referring your child for an appointment, or have questions, feel free to contact me on email: trishaslttime@gmail.com Assessment: I believe in the importance of meeting the child 'where they are at' and I value measuring the child's progress against evidenced based developmental communication milestones and recognising progress in their own journey so far. I understand that children do well when they can, so my assessments take a broad picture of the child and how they are developing into account, including consideration of their regulation and engagement in activities. I am happy to support parents in making referrals to other professionals should the need arise. My approach to working with your child: My approach is collaborative—appointments combine direct work with your child and discussion with you. Once an area of need has been identified, I work closely with parents, caregivers, and teachers to introduce the most effective strategies and interventions for each child’s communication needs. I'm keen to include their interests during 1:1 work, as I know that children learn best through play and fun. In reality, time spent with the therapist is a fraction of the child's overall week so it's important to share the know-how with parents/ caregivers to empower them with knowledge on how to make a real difference. In this way you get the most out of therapy time, and the improvements made in the therapy appointment can carryover at home and into preschool/school. Ultimately my aim is for each child to be able to communicate and be empowered to grow in confidence to advocate for themselves. Further Learning: I am committed to maintaining ongoing professional development to ensure the highest standards of evidence-based practice, incorporating the most up-to-date therapy principles and programmes.
