About us

Our practice was founded on the principles of encouragement, evidence-based learning, and the belief in children to reach their potential.

We believe that children achieve their best when they are supported by enthusiastic and knowledgeable people.

We have vast experience in a variety of settings, including kindergartens, childcare centres, schools and homes. With this experience comes a wealth of knowledge in a range of clinical areas, including speech sound difficulties, language delays, literacy (reading and writing), Autism Spectrum Disorders, social skills and stuttering.

We enjoy building relationships with families in order to best support their children, and adopt a holistic approach when setting goals and liaising with the child’s family.

We have a strong passion for working with children and their families to aid their communication and development. We appreciate that each child is unique and that children learn best when their interests are being valued and they are enjoying themselves.

Rebecca’s nurturing, creative and encouraging nature allow her to create fun, comfortable and rewarding experiences for her clients.

Prior to working in private practice, Rebecca had experience in a range of settings including community health, hospitals, rehabilitation and schools.
