Hi, I’m Chelsea!

I’m a Speech Pathologist who is passionate about helping children and young people build the confidence and skills they need to communicate in ways that are meaningful to them. I take a warm, neurodiversity-affirming and family-centred approach, working closely with children, parents, carers and educators to support each child’s individual strengths and goals.

I work with children aged 2 to 15 years, with a particular interest in early intervention and supporting children through their key developmental years. I have experience working with a wide range of communication needs, including speech sound disorders, expressive and receptive language, autism, gestalt language processing, social communication, Childhood Apraxia of Speech, stuttering and fluency, developmental delays, phonological awareness for literacy, and early language development.

I also have experience supporting children who use Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) and Key Word Sign. I welcome AAC referrals on a case-by-case basis, depending on each child’s needs and the level of support required.

I love creating engaging, play-based therapy that builds on each child’s interests and natural strengths. Building genuine relationships with children and their families is one of my favourite parts of being a Speech Pathologist, and I strive to create a safe, supportive environment where every child feels understood, empowered and celebrated for exactly who they are.
