Anna has been a great support professionally. I reached out to her for specialist clinical supervision and she responded very efficiently. We were able to have a telephone call (due to distance) which helped so much. Anna provided resources and shared her highly specialist knowledge about Selective Mutism. She put me at ease and encouraged me to ask questions to support the case I was working on. Thank you very much!

Anna was a angel in our lifes. We contacted her when my daughter was 3,5 yo with very significant speech delay and the NHS slt said she wasn't ready for 1-1 therapy. However, I knew we had to do more for her so I decided to look for private therapy. A friend recommended Anna who is also specialised in bilinguism (our family has 3 languages). From the first session I could see the difference in Cissa. Anna has a special way to talk to children that is very interesting. My daughter absolutely loves when "Aunt Anna comes to play". She taught me so much about how to speak, what to do, how to help Cissa learn. She went above and beyond, she fought hard for Cissa to get a space in the ICAN provision - that was never mentioned to us before by the NHS although Cissa was the perfect candidate for that. She is a very qualified professional that works in a personalised way, who design activities that will help Cissa to achieve her goals while teaching me how to do all on my own. I just wish I had found her earlier!

Anna helped my son Marco from about the age of 3.5 till about 5 years old. She has been an absolute life saver, amazing with the wee one and superb at explaining to me and husband how to best support his needs. We are raising our children as multilingual, and as her own experiences were an absolute godsend. In addition to being a very knowledgeable professional Anna is also an amazing person. Can not recommend her ability and services high enough.

I’m Anna Biavati, a Speech and Language Therapist and founder of Steps to Brave Talking Therapy and Support.
For over 20 years, I’ve helped children who struggle to speak, especially those with selective mutism and anxiety, by showing parents how to build safety, trust, and connection before expecting words.
My approach is called the Brave Muscle Method, it is about training the brain and body to feel safe enough to communicate.
It’s not just about talking; it’s about strengthening the “bravery muscle” through breath, movement, co-regulation, and playful connection.
I also use the Family Dynamic Approach, helping adults understand how their own responses, energy, and expectations shape the child’s sense of safety.
When parents shift, children grow braver.
