As we look forward to our upcoming Winter Team Away Day, here’s a throwback to when we gathered the Soundswell team for a day of connection, creativity, and collaboration back in May🌿💬✨

Held in Birmingham, the day was packed with presentations, team discussions, and plenty of time to reconnect.

In the afternoon, one of our fabulous therapists, Bryony, led a creative session where we made clay faces using natural objects we'd collected over lunch. Such a fun way to experience the activities she uses with children in her therapy work!

We ended the day feeling refreshed, inspired, and grateful for this wonderful team🩵💙 If you’d like to find out more about joining Soundswell, simply comment below or visit - https://www.soundswellspeech.com/join-the-team/ 😊

Earlier this month, our therapist Kate delivered a SWIMS training session (Soundswell Working in Mainstream Schools) with Sarah Buckley Therapies Ltd. at their Head Office in Bromley.

The session gave therapists a deeper understanding of the national SLCN context and equipped them with practical tools for delivering effective interventions in mainstream settings.

The group were fantastic, and we loved receiving this feedback:

🌟“The team found it very helpful… your kindness and insight made such a difference.”🌟

Thank you to everyone who joined us!🙌

🌟We're incredibly proud of our brilliant team of therapists, and even more so when we receive testimonials like this from the settings we work with...

"We really commend Nicki and the rapport she has established with our staff and children. She understands our school, our staff, our children and our ethos. Nicki is highly regarded and her opinions, advice, support and approachability are strongly valued.

"We have adopted many new practices thanks to Nicki and the Soundswell team (WellCom, SSIPA, Attention Autism, Intensive Interaction) and we have seamlessly established collaborative working with the Locality SALT (Balanced System), so even more of our pupils get the input and support they need."

💬 If you're a therapist based in the West Midlands or Shropshire and want to work in settings that truly appreciate your expertise, we'd love to hear from you.

Proudly supporting schools and educational settings across the West Midlands and Shropshire for over a decade!

Half of the schools we work with have partnered with us for 5–10 years, and many for even longer. But why do they stay - or in some cases - why do they return?

It's simple: the Soundswell team is experienced, flexible and outcome-focussed, delivering high quality speech, language and communication services.

Our services make a real difference to children and young people with SLCN, providing:
✅ Consistent, high-quality support
✅ Clear, tailored objectives
✅ Measurable impact
✅ Proven value for money

Could you see yourself making a difference as part of our dedicated team?💙

📣Independent working really can be flexible!

Thinking about working independently? Joining the Soundswell team means you can work as many, or as few days as you wish. Some of our team do up to 4 days each week – others might do a day a fortnight. We have two therapists who do occasional adhoc pieces of work for us – and that’s fine too.

If you missed our recent and want to find out more about and the benefits it can have for you, both professionally and personally, comment below or email office@soundswellspeech.com for a copy of the recording to watch in your own time 💻
