Speech, stuttering, language, reading, or writing challenges ?
We’ve got you!
Speech therapy doesn’t have to be complicated!
As a team of senior speech pathologists, we can help you or your loved one:
- increase functional real-world communications skills;
- improve academic or work performance;
- boost social relationships and inclusion;
- participate in activities that matter to you most; and
- boost happiness, confidence, good health and quality of life.
Are you unsure about what’s getting in the way of good communication?
Maybe you’ve seen another speech pathologist (or two!) and been confused or unhappy with the experience.
Perhaps you’re confused by what’s happening with NDIS reforms, Foundational Supports and Medicare. That’s understandable!
We can help. It does not need to be so hard! We’re all about making complex things simple.

Schedule a complimentary call
Fill out the online form or call us to tell us a bit about you and your needs. We’ll send you more information about our services and fees, and schedule a call with one of our speech pathologists so we can understand your immediate concerns and priorities.
Come in and meet with us
We will welcome you into our friendly little clinic, and do our best to get to the bottom of what’s going on and, with you, come up with a practical plan to do something about it. We work hard behind the scenes to take the ‘cold and clinical’ out of our clinic. Our clinic is clean and cozy: some of our young clients think we live here!
Evidence-based recommendations and therapy
We’ll answer any questions about the results or action plan, then get to work directly with you, your family to help achieve your goals.
We’ll give you options, and always explain the evidence-base, risks and benefits of different approaches.
Evidence-based knowledge is power
We think everyone deserves access to the information they need to understand common communication challenges, and what to do about them. That’s why we’ve written free ebooks dealing with common challenges including about:
- speech sound disorders, including articulation issues like lisps, developmental phonological disorders, apraxia of speech, dysarthrias associated with traumatic brain injuries or strokes, and other motor speech disorders that can make speech unclear;
- language disorders, including Developmental Language Disorder, and language disorders associated with autism, cerebral palsy, ADHD, Down syndrome, and stroke (aphasia);
- learning disorders, including specific language disorders, like dyslexia and dysgraphia, and other challenges that can affect reading, spelling, writing and academic success.
