About Acquire

Acquire Speech and Language Therapy Ltd is led by Director and Consultant Speech and Language Therapist Dr Sharon Adjei-Nicol.

Hello and thank you for your interest in Acquire SLT.  I qualified as a Speech and Language Therapist in 2004 from University College London and have worked with adult clients across seven different NHS trusts in the U.K. since this time. After time in management roles in the NHS, I decided to set up in private practice in 2019. Speech and Language Therapy is something I am extremely passionate about and it brings me great pleasure to be able to offer my expertise to a variety of clients across London and the South East.

My main areas of expertise are Adult Neurology and Adult Voice Disorders. I have vast experience working with clients with communication and/or swallowing difficulties as a result of neurological conditions such as Stroke, traumatic brain injury (TBI), Disorders of consciousness, Parkinson’s Disease, M.S., M.N.D and am trained to deliver specialist treatments such as Lee Silverman Voice Treatment (LSVT) and McNeil Dysphagia Therapy Programme. I also have extensive experience working with adults who stammer. Alongside my role as Director of Acquire, I am a Senior Lecturer in Speech and Language Therapy at the University of Greenwich and complete medico-legal and expert witness work.

I pride myself on running a small practice and assess the majority of cases personally. I provide expert supervision to the clinical team (below) and have an oversight of all clients on the caseload. Please do not hesitate to contact me to discuss a case or if you have any questions.

In the practice are two experienced Associate Speech and Language Therapists with specialist expertise:

Mr Sunveer Kudhail is Associate Speech and Language Therapist specialising in Voice disorders and Dysphagia (swallowing difficulties) as a result of neurological conditions, ENT conditions or Head and Neck Oncology.

Ms Priscilla Bailey is Associate Speech and Language Therapist specialising in swallowing and communication difficulties in Neurological conditions.
