Speech & Language Therapy Mental Health Team

CamdenIslington

The Speech and Language Therapy (SLT) Mental Health team provides a service to both in-patients and community clients of North London Foundation Trust (NLFT) who have communication or swallowing difficulties (dysphagia). 

The team works with clients and may work with families or carers to support more effective communication and safer eating and drinking. Clients can be seen both in person in various settings and via video appointments.

Group work is offered to autistic adults who may or may not be NLFT patients where they live in Camden or Islington.
