About

Let’s Talk Speech and Language Therapy Services, was set up by Jane McKean in March 2009. We offer services to children and young people aged 0 to 19 years living in Essex, Hertfordshire & Suffolk.

Jane trained at Manchester Metropolitan University, graduating in 2000 with joint honours in Psychology and Speech Pathology. Following 10 successful years within the NHS and as a highly qualified and experienced Paediatric Speech and Language Therapist; Jane moved into the private sector in order to offer high quality and child centered therapy.

She firmly believes that being able to communicate is imperative for every child and fundamental to development; reinforced not least by her experiences as a parent to twins.
