Introduction
I'm working on spiritual health assessment and intervention, developing resources for inclusive and accessible communication, and incorporating telehealth. I continue to have a passion for supporting those with communication impairments adjusting post-traumatically. Clinically, I offer person-centred holistic speech and language therapy with adults, incorporating client-led goal setting and outcome measures. I also provide training based on my work in spiritual health and wellbeing.

Based...

People with acquired apraxia of speech (AOS) and aphasia commonly experience long-term communication disability without support for their ongoing recovery or self-management. Little is known about their lived experience of metalinguistic abilities and capacity to harness them for self-management of speech production. The author, a speech and langua...
Book
Full-text available
If speech and language therapists are truly to consider themselves holistic practitioners, all facets of their clients need to be taken into consideration. Spirituality in healthcare has long been explored from the perspective of nursing but is only just beginning to be examined in relation to allied health professions. This book is the first to e...
Preprint

Spiritual health is part of overall health, but sometimes neglected. People may be put off exploring spirituality if the words or images used seem alien to them. WELLHEAD seeks to overcome this by offering an accessible framework, acceptable from different religious standpoints and worldviews. The WELLHEAD Toolkit is based on a program of UK resear...
Conference Paper
Full-text available
The COVID-19 pandemic brings well-publicised consequences for mental health, amplified by isolation and reduced communication (such as occurs post-stroke or other acquired illness, in the early stages of dementia or as part of normal ageing). The parallel impact on spiritual health and wellbeing is less well recognised, especially when spirituality...

Rehabilitation has neglected the spirituality of people with aphasia, a neurogenic impairment of language for communication and thought processes. Aphasia reduces scope for adjustment processes where words are normal currency, such as forgiveness and reconciliation. A single case narrative was generated from a case series exploring the feasibility...

Article
Full-text available
Objective : To discover how reliably speech and language therapists could diagnose apraxia of speech using their clinical judgement, by measuring whether they were consistent (intra-rater reliability), and whether their diagnoses agreed (inter-rater reliability). Design : Video clips of people with communication difficulties following stroke were r...

The Panjabi adaptation of the Aphasia Screening Test (AST) has been used with a small group of stroke patients and the preliminary results are reported. All the patients are described and their test results plotted. Observations are made about the test procedure, with recommendations for its further use.
Article
A paucity of material for assessing dysphasia in Panjabi‐English bilinguals led to the adaptation of the Aphasia Screening Test into Panjabi. This paper studies the reasons behind choosing the Aphasia Screening Test and the rationale for the adaptation. Cultural, religious and linguistic parameters are analysed and evaluated. The discussion centres...
