Specialist Speech and Language Therapist based in Altrincham
About Nicola Kenworthy
Speech and language therapist based in Altrincham
I’m Nicola Kenworthy, an independent Speech and Language Therapist based in Altrincham, supporting children and families with a range of speech, language, eating, drinking and swallowing difficulties.
I graduated from the University of Manchester in 2002 and have worked as a Speech and Language Therapist for over 20 years, across NHS, hospital, community and education settings.
During that time, I’ve worked in primary, secondary and special needs schools, the Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital, and within the community. Alongside my independent practice, I continue to work part-time within the NHS.
My approach is friendly, practical and centred around each individual child. I want children to feel comfortable during their sessions, while giving parents clear advice and strategies they can continue to use at home.
I'm based in Altrincham, but I provide independent Speech and Language Therapy for children and families across Altrincham and the surrounding areas of Trafford, Cheshire, Greater Manchester and beyond.

A supportive approach for children and parents
I understand that contacting a Speech and Language Therapist can sometimes come after weeks or months of worrying about your child's speech, communication, eating or drinking. My aim is to make the process as reassuring and straightforward as possible.
Sessions are tailored to your child's individual needs, age and personality. For younger children in particular, therapy can often involve games and play, helping them feel relaxed and engaged while we work towards their goals.
I also believe that supporting parents is an important part of therapy. Where appropriate, I'll give you practical ideas and strategies that can be incorporated into everyday life, helping your child continue making progress outside of our sessions.
Worried about your child's speech, communication, eating or drinking?
If you have concerns about your child's speech, language, eating, drinking or swallowing, please get in touch.
