My Team


Abby Buckingham
Speech and Language Therapist
I completed the BSC Speech and Language Therapy at the University of Essex in 2022. Whilst studying at University, I experienced working with autistic children, children with speech sound disorders, language disorders, stammering and with cleft lip and/or palate. Further to this, I had the privilege of working with children in multiple settings; schools, hospitals, clinics, community and over tele-therapy.
I have a passion for coming alongside young people and their families to help them reach their full potential, meeting goals that are important for them and supporting them to feel confident in their communication. My particular areas of interest are speech sound disorders and dysfluency.
In my spare time I enjoy playing sports, keeping healthy and singing.


Beth Davison
Speech and Language Therapist
I gained my masters degree from the University of Essex in September 2024 which allowed me opportunities to shadow Speech and Language Therapists at a local private pediatric clinic as well as community adult services. Following graduation I gained a job working for the NHS in an acute hospital setting, which I do part-time alongside my work with private clients. I work predominantly with adults who have acquired neurological conditions, people who stammer, autistic adults or those with a learning disability. As a voiceover artist for over a decade I also have a lot of experience in vocal health and hope to specialise in voice disorders.
In my spare time I love walking the dog along the many estuaries of East Anglia, with an all important pub stop somewhere along the way.

Maisie Humphries
Speech and Language Therapy Assistant
I am about to start the final year of my masters in Speech and Language Therapy at the University of Essex. Prior to this, I completed my undergraduate degree in English and Drama at Goldsmiths University of London whilst working with children as a nanny.
I was fortunate to work with Carrie on placement during my first year, and was able to experience working with children with speech sound difficulties, gestalt language processing, autism, developmental language disorder and attention & listening difficulties. I loved getting to experience the impact that SLT can have on supporting children with their speech, language and communication development, as well as being able to develop my skills and understanding in a practical environment.
In my spare time I enjoy cooking, singing and drawing.
