She was friendly, positive and professional at all times.
“Hulya helped my daughter Chloe enormously. She was friendly, positive and professional at all times. Chloe really looked forward to the speech therapy sessions with her; she gained so much confidence and her speech improved dramatically. 7 months ago we could hardly understand what Chloe was saying, which was very frustrating for her and for us. Now Chloe’s speech is age appropriate and she is a happy and confident little girl. To any concerned parent, I can think of no-one better than Hulya!”

Twelve year old girl with specific language impairment (SLI)
“Hulya is an amazing person who has helped me loads! I was diagnosed with word finding difficulties and she helped me understand what that meant and what would help. She has a lovely smile that made me feel welcome and safe. Hulya is a very friendly and loyal person, not only helping me understand she helped my parents and teachers understand so they know what to do to help me. I highly recommend Hulya for she as a very clever lady that will help anyone she can.”

My daughters speech has improved significant and this has had a direct impact on her confidence as well
“Hulya has been outstanding. Quick to identify the issues that needed to be addressed with my daughters speech and then implemented an effective plan which started to produce results quickly. Hulya always provides clear guidance and resources so we can continue the work throughout the week at home. My daughters speech has improved significant and this has had a direct impact on her confidence as well. Both my wife and I are glad we made the decision to work with Hulya.”
