About Aoife Stone-Ghariani
Highly specialist speech and language therapist with extensive experience in working with adults with acquired neurological conditions.
If you or a loved one have been diagnosed with a neurological condition, such as stroke, Parkinson's disease, or a brain tumour, it can feel devastating and bewildering. It can be difficult to know where to seek help and support for the symptoms you are experiencing.

Based at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, I bring expert knowledge in managing complex communication and swallowing difficulties, with extensive experience in stroke, neuro-surgery, and neuro-oncology.
I have experience with the following conditions:
- Stroke
- Parkinson's Disease
- Multiple Sclerosis
- Motor Neurone Disease
- Brain Tumour
- Brain Injury
- Disorders of Consciousness
