🔹Consultant in Inclusive Communication and Language-Rich Environments, with 20 Years’ Cross-Sector Expertise

Charlotte led NHS service development, shaped inclusive school curricula, and supported national creative education projects — including Create Speak Thrive (Trestle Theatre) and the Teacher–Artist Exchange (Letchworth Garden City Heritage Foundation).

She blends therapeutic insight with educational strategy — drawing on evidence-based tools like metacognition, role play, growth mindset, oracy frameworks and mnemonic approaches to support meaningful communication for all learners.

Charlotte has consulted with inclusive arts organisations including Oily Cart and Bounce Theatre, providing CPDL, community engagement strategy, and support for families navigating communication needs and neurodivergence.

Still active in frontline practice, Charlotte brings real-world insight to every project — helping build inclusive, ambitious communication environments that support professionals, families, and young people alike.
