Lois McCluskey

Lois is a highly specialist Speech and Language Therapist with experience across a range of NHS roles, as well as in private practice. She has a strong background in the operational side of speech and language therapy, including mentoring, caseload oversight and service development. She is committed to helping therapists grow in confidence and to building services that work well for the families who rely on them.

Lois has a particular interest in stammering and is passionate about supporting people who stammer to communicate with confidence. Her approach is warm, practical and family-centred, grounded in evidence-based practice and in working alongside parents, carers and professionals. She has designed and delivered training for early years settings, helped shape referral pathways and intervention models, and worked closely with Local Authority and multiagency partners.

As a parent of adult children, Lois understands how important it is for families to feel heard and involved. Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with her dog and is a keen upholsterer, with a particular love of restoring and caning furniture.
