Someone who enjoys talking and worries less about how they sound, who dares to say what they think or feel, or who notices that things are getting easier and easier: that’s what gives me energy. I’m Lola Vermeulen, a speech and language therapist, and I love getting to know the person behind the request for help.
You can come to me with any questions regarding language, speech, stammering and abnormal oral habits (OMFT). I think it’s important that you feel at ease and have the space to talk about what’s on your mind. What’s already going well? What’s proving difficult? And what would you like to achieve?
I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. That’s why we work together to find what suits you best. What do you enjoy, what do you need, and how can we make the exercises fit in with your daily life? There’s plenty of room to play, try things out and have a laugh. In this way, we work together towards your goals, with a focus on enjoyment and self-confidence. When working with children, I also involve parents, so that together we can identify what your child needs.
I studied Speech and Language Therapy at Utrecht University of Applied Sciences and took a minor in ‘Reflecting on Behaviour’. I also completed the Specialised Educational Assistant training programme, which has greatly enhanced my understanding of child development. Through the RESTART-DCM training, I have gained a deeper understanding of supporting young children who stammer.
Through TinyEYE, we meet online, from the comfort of your own home. I’m keen to hear your story and look forward to working with you!
