Having worked with clients of all ages, the importance of communication is never lost on me. It’s a core skill which we are required to use from a young age, but one that many dread! Be that a small presentation, a catch up with friends, or a speech in front of thousands of people – it’s the words, the way we use them, and most importantly… you,  which carry the power. Communication can be fun, and incredibly rewarding, and that’s where I come in.

My passion for communication stems from my love of theatre. From a young age, I have always been fascinated by text and delivery, and in particular the works of William Shakespeare. This adoration inspired me to attend four years of drama school, where I studied professional acting at the wonderful Italia Conti Academy. Since graduation I have worked in Theatre, commercials and film, as well as producing, writing and directing my own work!

With the incredible materials we have here at London Speech Workshop, I am able to guide my clients, of all abilities and crafts towards creating a more confident and authentic self. I have two years experience in accent softening, and have helped clients from all different corners of the world achieve their goals. I look forward to working with you, and playing a part on the next step of your journey. The first step is always doing – and that’s the hardest part!

Just to note, Tom sometimes brings his dog, Kenny, into the office when he conducts sessions there. Kenny is hypoallergenic, super friendly and very cute! He’ll just sit in the corner and you won’t even know he is there.
