Expert input to help every child achieve their full potential

Speech and Language Therapy integrated with support for other needs = a service that really helps children progress.

Hi, I’m Megan! I’m a Special Needs Consultant, fully qualified Speech and Language Therapist and registered Teacher, with nearly 15 years’ experience helping children and young people achieve their goals.

I offer premium, individualised Speech and Language Therapy and Consultancy to schools and other educational establishments, individuals and legal services, with a focus on input that really works, not just that ticks a box. I truly care about every individual I work with and always put their needs first.

Why Megan Pickering Consultancy?

Proven track record. I have successfully supported hundreds of individuals to achieve their goals, and consistently receive highly positive feedback from clients.
Work directly with the expert. No agency margins or rotating cover. Regular communication with me, and children receive consistent, specialist input with the same therapist, leading to better outcomes.

Seamless integration with teaching content. I am a fully qualified and experienced teacher; all input is provided in consideration of the demands on teaching staff and in the context of broader National Curriculum expectations.
A professional who really cares. Integrity is my guiding principle; I always advocate for the needs of children and design and adapt sessions to help each individual engage and progress.

What do clients say about my individual service?

Testimonials

“

Our students are extremely lucky to have Megan working with them. She goes above and beyond with every learner, making the effort to understand and do what's best for them, rather than just tick-boxing. Learners have achieved more than others ever thought was possible — including one young person who has started to use speech for the first time thanks to Megan's specialist input.

Supported Learning Teacher, London College

“

It was a genuine privilege attending Megan's training — and it truly went beyond any training I have ever had before. Megan really understands the struggles of the classroom and everyday life for many of our children, and provided realistic, practical strategies that have made a real, tangible impact in school.

Learning Support Assistant, London School

“

Megan has been working with our child for over 3 years and we would be lost without her. Megan adapts to exactly what our current priorities are, and her down-to-earth, friendly approach engages our son when no one else can. She is really one in a million.
