Independent Children's Speech & Language Therapy Services in Chester, Wirral & North Wales

Unlocking every child's right to communicate

Cariad Speech Therapy provides independent children's speech & language therapy services that support and empower children in their communication journey.

About Cariad Speech Therapy

Hi! I’m Ellen Pandya, and I started Cariad Speech Therapy in 2024 so I could provide reliable, independent speech and language assessments to meet every child’s individual needs.

I provide a range of services to both schools and nurseries, and directly to families privately. I also offer a free 15 minute consultation to help you decide if Cariad Speech Therapy is right for you.

From my base in Chester, I work with schools and families throughout Wirral, Flintshire, Wrexham – and of course Cheshire – and the surrounding areas. Don’t hesitate to get in touch though even if you aren’t sure if I cover your area!

You can learn about my experience and qualifications on the About page, and the services I offer below.

Dwi’n siarad Cymraeg!

(I speak Welsh!)

I’m fluent in both Welsh and English, and I’m able to provide all my services in either language (or both!).

Free Resources

Take a look at the Blog & Resources page to find free downloadable tools and resources to help you guide your child’s communication journey.

Before meeting Ellen, our little girl (aged 4) would get so frustrated with practicing her sounds/words, and it was a struggle to get her to do it! Not anymore. Ellen makes it so enjoyable & fun with lots of games (no cheating involved of course) and now she looks forward to practicing at home with us as well as in school. We can't thank you enough Ellen, and we are so glad we found you!
