How can we help your child?Our Clubs & Events
Speech and Language Therapy

Speech and Language Therapy.

Happy Chatters is a team of Speech & Language Associate Practitioners that support children with Speech, Language and Social Communication Difficulties ranging from the ages of 18 months-8 years. We pride ourselves in being an neurodiversity affirming practice.

We specialise in Gestalt Language Processing (GLP), supporting children who learn language in a different way. Some children develop communication by learning whole phrases, scripts, or chunks of language before breaking them down into individual words. Our approach recognises and respects this natural learning style. Through play-based, child-led therapy, we support each child to move through their communication journey at their own pace, building meaningful, functional language in a way that feels safe, supportive, and enjoyable. We work closely with families to help children develop confident communication skills that can be used in everyday life.

We offer assessments, intervention, training for parents and education settings such as nursery’s and schools. All initial consultations can either be offered in the comfort of your home or in our practice based in Stanmore.

All Assessments are carried out by highly qualified Speech & Language Therapists.

Dipali has been amazing from start to finish. She was very kind, patient and welcoming. She took the time to find things that my child loved in order to gain his focus and improve on his language skills. I cannot recommend Dipali enough. My son loved working with her!

We’ve had an absolutely wonderful experience working with Happy Chatters at our nursery, and I couldn’t recommend their service highly enough. From the moment they began supporting us, their professionalism, warmth, and genuine passion for helping children shone through. Happy Chatters provided exceptional support to two of our children who were experiencing speech and language delays. The impact has been incredible. Not only did the children make noticeable progress, but the team supported our key persons with practical, easy-to-follow strategies that made a real difference in daily practice. They truly understand early years settings and work collaboratively with practitioners, making everyone feel confident and empowered. A standout strength of Happy Chatters is how personal and child-centred their approach is. When they visit, they don’t just observe from the sidelines—they get involved. They sit on the floor, play with the children, and build genuine connections. It’s this personal touch that makes their support so effective. They are able to tune in beautifully to each child’s communication style, capturing their individual needs and creating tailored support plans that are clear, realistic, and engaging. Their therapists are not only incredibly knowledgeable but also warm, approachable, and deeply empathetic. They celebrate the small wins, encourage and guide staff with kindness, and always remain focused on what’s best for the child. Their visits bring a sense of energy and positivity to the setting, and the children are always excited to engage with them. Happy Chatters has become a trusted and valued part of our extended team, and we are so grateful for their continued support. If you’re looking for a speech and language therapy service that is nurturing, highly skilled, and genuinely passionate about early childhood development, Happy Chatters is the one to go to.

Happy Chatters has been a godsend for us. Dipaley is an expert in her field, and Happy Chatters goes above and beyond to help their patients. For the first time I actually feel like I understand what to do as a parent and how to support both my boys in their language journeys. She has literally shone a light for us on how they are using delayed echolalia to communicate how to support them at this stage. My oldest has been asking to go to ‘therapy’ since Dipaley honours all play and lets him shine as who he is. I highly recommend Happy Chatters.

Hands down the best therapist!! I have visited few therapist and I must say I have not seen any therapist as talented as Depaley. The clinic is immaculate and her talent to bond with a child and the expertise is unmatchable! I’m so glad I have found her and I know my son would progress in no time.

What can I say? Free to be Me has been the best thing for my son and he absolutely LOVES it. He regularly says it's his favourite after-school club (he has struggled in many others where staff don't properly understand his needs or have the necessary strategies) and he always looks forward to it. It provides a safe and friendly place where he can completely be himself without masking, but at the same time is learning vital social skills, and has made friends. To see the children working and communicating beautifully together despite their neurodiversity, to build a marble run or race go karts, taking turns and sharing toys, is wonderful, especially when they are having so much fun! It's easily my favourite club too. It's a great space for parents as well, to relax a little and not have to be constantly vigilant, to share strategies with other parents in similar positions, or even just have a cup of tea and vent! It's the best hour of our week!

Happy Chatters is always so accommodating for seeing my daughter, which was evident from the start. I was unable to find a local SALT in Hampshire and after contacting Dipaley, she was very helpful by being able to fit her into her clinics. Amira has been seeing her for nearly a year & there has been so much progress! From being minimally verbal to now speaking in short sentences - we cannot thank her enough for her input. She is very good with children and has a special bond with my child, especially when my child doesn’t easily get used to people. If you’re looking for a professional, friendly and competent SALT, look no further than Happy Chatters. Very good in her profession & her experience shows this. Five stars from us! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

We’ve been attending the Happy Chatters after school club on Monday afternoons for several months. My son loves it! He’s made lots of new friends, as have I. The kids have so much fun, the hour flies by and if allowed, the kids would keep playing well into the evening. We’ve had extra treats and celebrations for Christmas, Easter, birthdays and Halloween. What makes this season unique, is, any developmental concerns we have about our kids, this is a safe place to ask questions and share thoughts, ideas and strategies.
