  • Zein has been working with Sam for a number of years and has been a great support to us as a family. Zein’s knowledge, patience, and commitment in supporting Sam is outstanding. We cannot recommend the service and professionalism enough. Sam’s communication skills have vastly improved because of the hard work and dedication provided by Zein.

  • The most important thing Zein did on meeting us was listen. She understood our concerns and she reassured us, in the calm, supportive way we have come to appreciate so much. She made observations on that first visit that showed such a deep understanding for Ronnie’s learning profile and she made pertinent suggestions that didn’t just support his communication needs, but his play and interaction skills also.

  • As a mother, supporting a child with additional needs, I have my moments when I question whether I’m doing enough, whether I know enough to support him, and in Zein we have found an honest, caring practitioner who is able to unpick our support in a non-judgemental way, which empowers us to support our son better, without overwhelming us.

  • Zein is a very experienced speech and language therapist who we have had the pleasure of working closely with over the past three years. Zein attends our Fostering Wellbeing Masterclasses as an insightful and engaging guest speaker on the topic of ‘speech and language support for children looked after’. Participants who attend the Masterclasses refer to Zein’s presentations as one of the highlights of the programme. We look forward to continuing to work with Zein throughout our programme delivery.

  • I thoroughly enjoy my supervision with Zein. She provides a comfortable, non-judgemental space to discuss many aspects of my practice. Zein's approach varies depending on the need of the situation, asking questions, giving space to work through challenges or providing specific advice. I always leave a session with a plan to move forwards.

  • There is nothing too small or big to bring into our supervisions, Zein has the natural ability to listen to you, and to constructively design a plan of action if needed. Zein is also the reason why I am trying to improve my life-work balance which is positively impacting on my mental well-being. This is for me my biggest achievement as a professional in independent practice. I strongly recommend her!

  • Zein supports a partnership in supervision which allows space for self-reflection and evaluation of practice while also looking at the impact of the workplace environment. I always find my sessions with her refreshing.

  • I find my regular supervision sessions with Zein invaluable. She provides a safe and supportive space to explore what ever I bring to the session. She is an attentive listener who shares thoughtful reflections. I find reflecting together at the end of the session very helpful for consolidating any new thinking or ideas. I always leave feeling energised and with renewed focus.

  • I would highly recommend Speech and Language Therapy supervision with Zein. Working as a solitary Speech Therapist, I look forward to our sessions and find that the support has been fundamental to my professional development. I value the positive atmosphere of the sessions, allowing me to self-reflect and bring a wide variety of professional topics for discussion. Following supervision, I feel reassured and equipped with new ideas I am able to apply to my practice.

  • Zein is very thoughtful and takes great care to really listen and tailor everything to the individual. She asked me from the outset what I was looking for in supervision, and has delivered this very skilfully and conscientiously throughout our time together. As founding members of Intandem, Cathy Sparkes and Sam Simpson have written themselves, the role of supervision '... has now extended to one that supports and facilitates emotional resilience, opens up possibilities where there seem to be very few and fosters an individual's personal/professional resources to manage change' (Bulletin, 2013) and this is something that Zein has provided for me. I highly recommend her to you.
