What Linguistic Resolutions does

Linguistic Resolutions Ltd is a UK-based, independent speech and language therapy (SLT) service that specialises in neuro-rehabilitation for adults and children with acquired neurological conditions, including stroke, traumatic brain injury, progressive neurological disease, and paediatric neurological disorders. Founded in 2007 by Sally Ghibaldan, the company has grown from a solo practice into a team of approximately 40-50 clinicians organised into Adult Neuro-Specialist SLT, Paediatric Neuro-Specialist SLT, and Neuro Rehab Assistants functions, with a Practice Manager and Head of Operations providing corporate infrastructure. Its operating footprint is concentrated in London and the Home Counties, delivered through home visits, hospital visits, a clinic at Pinner Consulting Rooms, and video-link group therapy.

The core service portfolio centres on SLT assessment, evidence-based SLT treatment/neurorehabilitation, multilingual therapy (Spanish, Italian, Russian, Maltese, Urdu), specialist neuro-rehab assistants, second opinions, training/education and clinical supervision. Differentiated specialist programmes include the proprietary Intensive Comprehensive Aphasia Programme (ICAP), a 100-hour neuroplasticity-based protocol combining 1:1 therapy, group intervention and conversation partner training, and a Facial Palsy Clinic delivered with surface electromyography and trophic stimulation in collaboration with facial expert Penny Gravill. The practice also has access to instrumental swallowing assessment (Videofluoroscopy, FEES) through teaching-hospital clinics.

Revenue is generated through three principal streams: bespoke private therapy services to individual clients, commissioning and contract services to NHS trusts, the Ministry of Defence, Headway, the Brain Injury Rehabilitation Trust (BIRT) and private in/outpatient facilities, and medico-legal assessment and treatment services routed through case managers and solicitors. Go-to-market is sales-led and referral-driven via embedded relationships with named case management firms (North Star, Bush & Co, COOCI Associates) and medico-legal solicitors. Pricing is bespoke and not publicly disclosed, with an initial trial therapy period offered before commitment. Since March 2026, the business operates as a joint venture with HCA International Limited, with operations tied to HCA Healthcare UK's 2 Cavendish Square London office.

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Brain Injury Rehabilitation Trust (BIRT): UK provider of specialist residential and community brain injury rehabilitation services, and a current commissioning partner of Linguistic Resolutions. Comparable on neuro-rehab scope and NHS/social-care referral channels, but at significantly broader institutional scale.
• HCA Healthcare UK (The Wellington Hospital / The Harley Street Clinic): Private hospital group that is now Linguistic Resolutions' joint venture partner. Overlaps as a clinical-services provider in neuro, stroke, and rehabilitation pathways, and is structurally the most important counterparty shaping Linguistic Resolutions' go-forward access to inpatient referrals.
• The Children's Trust: UK charity operating specialist residential and community brain injury rehabilitation services for children. Comparable on the paediatric neuro-rehabilitation segment and intensive therapy model, though at much larger institutional scale.

Emerging players

• Therapy Box: UK-based SLT provider with a digital/app-based delivery model for speech and language therapy. Comparable on the SLT service category but differentiated by a tech-enabled, remote-first approach that could overlap with Linguistic Resolutions' video-link group therapy.
• Different Strokes: UK charity supporting younger stroke survivors with rehabilitation services including exercise and communication support. Overlaps on the stroke-rehab mission and adult-neuro segment, but operates primarily as a peer-support and group-exercise charity rather than a fee-paying clinical provider.

Direct peers

• Hobbs Rehabilitation: UK specialist neurological rehabilitation provider offering intensive, interdisciplinary neuro-rehab programmes across multiple sites. Directly comparable to Linguistic Resolutions in clinical scope (stroke, TBI, neurological conditions), intensity of therapy delivery, and mixed private/NHS commissioning model.
• Krysalis Consultancy: UK provider of neuro-rehabilitation and case-management-adjacent services including speech and language therapy for brain-injured clients. Comparable target customer base (case managers, solicitors, medico-legal) and private-pay model, with similar geographic coverage in southern England.
• Words First: UK independent speech and language therapy practice providing assessment and therapy to schools, families, and case managers. Comparable as a private SLT provider competing for case-manager and solicitor referrals, though with a stronger paediatric/school-based emphasis.
• SLT for Kids: UK independent paediatric speech and language therapy practice offering home, school, and clinic visits across regions. Comparable as a private SLT practice competing for similar paediatric referrals and medico-legal work, though with broader (non-neuro) clinical scope.

Others

• Headway: UK brain injury association and existing commissioning partner of Linguistic Resolutions. Not a direct competitor, but a related ecosystem participant that funnels ABI survivors into specialist services such as Linguistic Resolutions' SLT pathway.
