My name is Lotte Nijman and I qualified as a speech and language therapist in 2021. In addition to my speech and language therapy degree, I completed a supplementary post-HBO course to become a dyslexia specialist. From a young age, I have had a keen interest in language and communication, and I find great fulfilment in helping others. It is precisely this combination that led me to choose this profession with such enthusiasm.
Every client is unique. That is why I believe it is important that treatment not only addresses the specific need, but above all the person behind that need. Together, we look at what someone needs to develop further and communicate with greater confidence. I believe in a personalised approach, where a pleasant working relationship and a safe environment form the basis for successful support.
To ensure I can provide the best possible care, I regularly attend courses and training programmes. This helps me stay up to date with the latest insights and developments in speech and language therapy. I am also DTL-certified (Direct Access to Speech and Language Therapy), which means that in many cases a referral from a GP is not required to start treatment.
In my work, I have gained experience with a range of speech and language therapy needs. For example, I support clients with speech, language, Dutch as a second language (NT2), breathing and voice, stammering, reading and spelling, eating and drinking difficulties, and OMFT (Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy). I believe it is important to work with clients in a clear, practical and committed way towards their goals, so that, step by step, they gain greater confidence in their communication and can function to the best of their ability in everyday life.
I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals and supporting you in your development!
