Claire Farringdon-Douglas
Speech and Language Therapist
Claire Farringdon-Douglas has worked with people with acquired brain injury for 25 years. She works collaboratively with people living with brain injury, their families, friends, carers and colleagues to ensure that progress made in therapy translates into their daily lives.
Her approach focuses on her clients’ priorities using interventions to address both the impairment and their participation in meaningful activities. These might include conversation therapy, group therapy, communication partner training, and work-based interventions including reading, writing and study skills.
On working at Headway East London, she says: “I love working at Headway because it is a vibrant, motivating space where people quickly feel comfortable and can engage in a range of activities. There is a culture of peer support, care and kindness.”
