Blakesley Orr

Founder & Principal Speech and Language Therapist

I am a senior paediatric speech and language therapist with over 7 years of clinical experience working in the NHS and private practice. I assess and provide therapy in; speech sound disorders, stutter/stammer, dyspraxia/apraxia of speech, speech and language difficulties due to autism and ADHD, early childhood intervention, social communication and developmental language disorder. Previously, I have worked in a  Psychology practice which has given me invaluable knowledge and experience working with neurodiverse children and adolescents. I have a wealth of experience working with many ethnicities and cultural backgrounds. 


I am a certified Hanen Practitioner and conduct parent training programmes to assist with early intervention strategies for children aged 18 months to 5 years old. I understand the need of engaging parents in sessions to follow through with strategies explored in therapy and to initiate meaningful therapeutic intervention outside of  1:1 therapy sessions.


I work closely with teachers, schools and other healthcare professionals involved in the child's care in order to see faster and lasting progress. My therapeutic approaches are evidence-based and in line with the most up-to-date clinical research.
