• Ages served

  The service is stated to provide voice therapy for adults in Bristol. The therapist notes wider professional experience with both adults and children, and separate part-time NHS work with babies and children, but the private practice itself is described as for adults.

• Approach

  The service is run by Madeleine (Maddie) Ashton, a Speech and Language Therapist qualified since 2008, who is HCPC registered and a member of the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists, with a special interest in the voice and upper airway (larynx). She has worked in a variety of settings in the UK and Australia and continues to work part time in public health (NHS). Appointments are currently offered on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.
