Frequently Asked Questions

  • I support toddlers, preschool children and school-aged children with speech, language and communication needs. For toddlers and preschool children, support is primarily provided through parent coaching, helping parents and caregivers use practical strategies to support communication during everyday routines.

  • Yes. All services are delivered online via a secure video platform, allowing families to access support from their own home.

  • Research shows that teletherapy can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy for many speech and language difficulties when delivered appropriately. Sessions are tailored to engage children and support parents online.

  • Parent coaching involves supporting parents to use evidence-based communication strategies during everyday interactions and routines. This approach helps children practise skills throughout the week, not just during therapy sessions.

  • Fees vary depending on the type and level of support required. I offer a range of services including parent coaching, home programmes, assessments, therapy sessions and webinars, allowing families to choose the support option that best meets their needs and budget.

  • In most cases, yes. An initial consultation or assessment helps identify your child's strengths, needs and appropriate next steps. However, some parent coaching services may begin without a formal assessment depending on the reason for referral.
