Speech and Language Therapy for Children
Helping children to connect, communicate and thrive
Gaby Harris is a Speech and Language Therapist with over 20 years’ experience working with children with a range of communication and behavioural differences. Based in North London, Gaby supports families across Finchley, Highgate and Hampstead, with sessions available in the comfort of your home, at your child’s school, in a welcoming therapy space in Whetstone, or online.
I provide assessment and therapy for children across the following areas of communication:
Listening
Does your child find it difficult to settle and focus, show readiness to listen or follow instructions?
Talking
Is your child delayed in saying their first words, formulating sentences or speaking clearly?
Social Interaction
Does your child need support to engage with others, manage behaviour or regulate emotions?
Stammering / Stuttering
Does your child repeat, stretch or get stuck on sounds or words?
One step at a time...
1: Initial Assessment
I will build a picture of your child’s emerging skills through observation and discussion, including how they communicate across everyday situations. This will include discussion with parents and, where appropriate, liaison with school. Collaboration with parents and teaching staff is key to building a picture of your child’s skills within interactions and their daily routines.
2: Therapy Sessions
Through fun and functional activities, children have a safe, reassuring space to show off what they can do and reach their potential, building confidence and independence, with parents actively involved in therapy sessions.
3: Home Practice
Beyond weekly therapy sessions, parents, as the experts on their own child, play a vital role in transferring emerging skills into everyday interactions and routines.

MARK WEBSTER, HEAD OF ST. MARGARET’S SCHOOL, HAMPSTEAD
Gaby Harris has become a valuable and trusted member of our staff. Gaby is an organised and approachable professional who works with children from Nursery age through to Year 2. In one-to-one sessions and small groups, she works with children who have specific speech and language difficulties, but also children who find social interaction difficult. Through her lively and engaging sessions, she gains the children’s trust, and brings out the very best in each child. Whether working on developing creative writing skills, or attending one of Gaby’s popular Lego Therapy sessions, the children love to work with her and it is wonderful to see their speech, confidence and social skills develop. I would highly recommend Gaby to you she would be a real asset to any setting.

Gaby’s initial assessment was a very positive experience, and she put both us and my son at ease. My son received a number of follow up sessions from Gaby and the positive changes were quite astonishing. The sessions were interactive and fun, and as a result Gaby was able to help speech sounds, confidence and social skills develop. 4 yr old
