Welcome to
Talking Toolbox North West

Hello, my name is Laura Coverley and I am the principal speech therapist and owner of Talking Toolbox North West. I graduated from the University of Manchester in 2016 (BSc Hons) and worked in the NHS for seven years before setting up Talking Toolbox alongside my NHS role in 2021. In addition to my NHS work, I now also work out of Pitter Patter Clinic, Windle, St Helens which opened in April 2023.

I have a special interest and passion for supporting children and young people who stammer up to the age of 16. I have completed the following training courses with the Michael Palin Centre for stammering, an internationally recognised centre of excellence:

Palin Parent-Child Interaction Therapy for Children Under 7. I am an Accredited Palin PCI therapist
Supporting 8 - 14s
Integrating stammering management approaches
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)
Stammering plus - how to support autistic children who stammer

In 2022 I was involved in the Palin Stammering Therapy for School Children (Palin STSC 8-14) research study.

When I am not working, I love to enjoy time outdoors with my husband and our two little boys. We love walks along the canal, visiting Chester Zoo and going for lunch out.

Testimonials

Family members have commented on our child’s vast improvement! He has settled in so well at his new school, and I have no doubt that this is in part due to all your hard work and the huge progress he has made!

My son’s language has improved since working with Laura. She did a fabulous job in connecting with my son and making learning a fun experience. Laura has been really helpful and always very friendly.

Our child has come on leaps and bounds in the time you have worked together, we are thrilled with his progress and are incredibly grateful for your hard work, thank you!

Our child’s speech has massively improved. We have noticed the biggest improvement with longer and more structured sentences.

Laura is a very friendly and knowledgeable therapist. She carried out a detailed assessment and provided us with a good quality report.
