OUR VISION

Our treatment is shaped by the passion and dedication of the Director of the Selective Mutism Clinic, Dr Elizabeth Woodcock. With a profound understanding of the challenges posed by Selective Mutism, she wanted to create a treatment program that is comprehensive and multi-faceted. Elizabeth’s compassionate approach is at the heart of everything the clinic does. We want to help build a community in which people with Selective Mutism are understood and supported to find their voice.
