Helping Speech and Language Therapists take the first steps into independent practice - creating businesses that align with your values, give you flexibility, and bring back the joy in your career.

Meet Emma & Ruth
If you’re feeling overworked, stretched with high caseloads, and unsure where to even begin with independent practice
- you’re not alone. Emma & Ruth have been exactly where you are now.
Both experienced SLTs, they spent many rewarding years in the NHS, but found themselves searching for a different way to work - one that offered flexibility, balance, and the chance to bring more joy back into their careers. Now, having built thriving independent practices of their own, they’re here to guide and support you in taking the first steps on your journey.
Why work with Emma & Ruth?
Ruth & Emma understand what it’s like to want more flexibility and fulfilment in their career, yet felt unsure where to even begin with setting up an independent practice.
They’ve felt the exact same fears, worrying about things like tax, finance, and whether they could really make the move from being an employee to becoming self-employed.
That’s why their approach is different. They combine years of SLT experience with the lessons they’ve learned building their own thriving practices.
The result is guidance and support that’s practical, proven, and taken from real-life experience - giving you the clear steps forward to create a business you love.
