Who we support
Speech and language
Support for speech sound production, vocabulary, sentence-building, and understanding - helping your child communicate clearly and confidently
AAC users & Gestalt language processing
Support for Gestalt Language Processors using multi-modal communication and parent coaching supports, as well as a range of AAC users, including both low- and high-tech communication systems.
Neurodivergent support
Respectful, neuroaffirming therapy for autistic children, ADHDers, PDA profiles, and other neurodivergent presentations.
Complex presentations
Support for children with more complex needs, including:
– Mental health challenges and anxiety
– Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS)
– Cerebral Palsy and other neurological conditions
– Genetic conditions such as Down syndrome, 22q11.2 deletion syndrome, and Fragile X syndrome.
– Rare or undiagnosed genetic conditions or developmental differences
We also work with children who haven’t found success with other therapists, offering a flexible, relationship-first approach that meets them where they are.
Feelings and emotions
We support emotional literacy through a communication lens — helping children recognise their feelings, understand how emotions are expressed, and develop the vocabulary to talk about them. This supports self-expression and builds stronger connections with others.
Behaviour & Regulation
Looking beneath the behaviour - supporting regulation and connection through communication supports.
