TANIA

DIRECTOR

SENIOR SPEECH PATHOLOGIST

Welcome — I’m so glad you’re here.

​

My journey into Speech Pathology began with a deep passion for helping others communicate and connect. Over the past 18 years, I have had the privilege of working across schools, community settings and Telehealth, both internationally and here in Australia, which I now proudly call home.

​

I am passionate about partnering with children and their families to build meaningful communication skills in ways that feel practical, positive and empowering. I have extensive experience supporting children with complex and developmental needs and take pride in creating individualised therapy programs tailored to each child’s unique strengths and goals.

​

As both a clinician and the founder of So to Speak, my vision is to create a warm, supportive space where families feel understood and confident in their child’s progress.

​

I look forward to welcoming you and your child and supporting you every step of the way as we work toward stronger communication and celebrate each success along the journey.

My passion for speech pathology grew while working as an Allied Health Assistant, where I saw firsthand the impact communication can have on a person’s confidence, connection, and everyday life. I later completed my Bachelor’s degree with Honours in Speech Pathology and have since had the opportunity to support both children and adults across schools, community services, and private practice.

​

Through these experiences, I have developed a collaborative and person-centred approach to therapy. I love creating sessions that are child-led, play-based, and tailored to each child’s unique strengths, interests, and goals, helping them feel safe, engaged, and supported as they learn.

​

I am passionate about supporting children to build confidence and develop self-advocacy skills throughout their communication journey. Watching children find their voice and begin to express themselves in their own way is what makes my work so meaningful.

​

I look forward to meeting you and your child and supporting you both on your communication journey.

BIANCA 

CLINIC MANAGER​

Hi, I am Bianca and I play a key role in keeping everything running smoothly at our clinic. With a background in Social Work, I bring a strong understanding of supporting families, navigating services and providing compassionate, practical guidance- skills that now shape my leadership role within our admin team. 

​

My focus is on ensuring our systems, processes and daily operations flow seamlessly so our clinicians can concentrate on delivering exceptional care. From overseeing appointments and supporting our team to improving how we work behind the scenes, I am passionate about creating and organised, welcoming and efficient environment for both families and our team. 

​

I love connecting with families and helping them feel supported from their very first interaction with us. Being part of your journey and making that experience positive, smooth and stress-free is something i genuinely value. 

​

I look forward to supporting you and your family as part of the So To Speak team. 

Supporting young children has always been at the heart of what I do! With a background in both Early Childhood Education and Occupational therapy, I bring a strong focus on play, connection and building foundational skills in ways that feel engaging and meaningful. 

​

I have worked as a Kindergarten teacher, OSHC coordinator, therapy assistant and whole brain development coach, and I especially enjoy supporting fine motor development and independence in everyday tasks. I love problem-solving and finding creative ways to build on each child's strengths while working through what feels tricky. 

​

Seeing children grow in confidence and watching families and schools notice those changes is the most rewarding part of my job. 

​

I can't wait to meet you and your child and work together to build skills, confidence and independence every step of the way!

CAMILLE

SPEECH PATHOLOGIST

I bring a varied background to my work as a Speech Pathologist, having previously worked as both a Paralegal and Allied Health Assistant. These experiences strengthened my appreciation for clear communication, genuine advocacy, and supporting families in a practical and meaningful way.

​

I have worked with clients from 18 months through to 65 years, with a particular passion for paediatrics. I love being part of each child’s communication journey and celebrating every win along the way.

​

My approach is family-centred, calm, flexible, and grounded in evidence-based practice. I aim to create a safe, fun, and supportive space where children can be themselves while working toward goals that are meaningful to them and their families.

​

I look forward to meeting you!

I love helping children find their voice and build confidence communicating in ways that are meaningful to them.

​

I completed my Master of Speech Pathology in Texas and gained experience supporting clients aged 3 to 80 years. After graduating, I worked for two years in an English-Spanish bilingual elementary school, which strengthened my passion for bilingualism and paediatric Speech Pathology.

​

I have a special interest in bilingualism, speech and language development, speech sound disorders, and stuttering. My therapy is evidence-based, play-based, and tailored to each child’s strengths and interests.

​

I value working closely with families and creating a warm, supportive space where children feel safe to learn, have fun, and celebrate their progress.

​

I look forward to meeting you and your family!

SKYE

ALLIED HEALTH ASSISTANT

I am currently studying Speech Pathology and absolutely love being part of a team that supports children and families in such meaningful ways. 

With a background in early childhood education and experience in the disability sector, I bring a playful, nurturing approach to every session. I am passionate about creating a safe, fun and supportive space where children can feel confident to learn, connect and express themselves- in whatever way works best for them! 

​

At So To Speak, I work closely with our Speech Pathologist to support children's communication goals through engaging, evidence-based activities. Whether it is playing games, getting creative with craft, or building social skills through group work. I love seeing each child's personality shine. 

​

I feel so lucky to be part of each child's journey- and I can't wait to meet you!

Supporting children and families has always been close to my heart.

 

As an Allied Health Assistant, I bring both professional training and lived experience to my work. I hold my Allied Health Assistant qualification and have many years of experience in massage therapy, giving me a strong understanding of movement, regulation and body awareness.

 

While living in South Africa, I ran a baby sensory program for mums and their babies, which deepened my passion for early development and empowering parents with practical, confidence-building tools. As a mum of three, I understand the different stages of childhood from guiding parents through early milestones to connecting with teenagers and helping them feel supported and understood.

 

I love working across all age groups. Families often describe me as calm, fun and motivating. I aim to create a positive, encouraging space where children feel confident and parents feel supported every step of the way.

CARA

SENIOR SPEECH PATHOLOGIST

I became a qualified Speech Pathologist and Audiologist in 2007 and have the honor of working with both children and adults in various environments, such as schools, hospitals, community services, and private practice.

 

Over the years, I've built a comprehensive skillset, including my experience as a Behaviour Support Practitioner. This role has enhanced my understanding of the intricate links between communication, behavior, and self-regulation, allowing me to approach therapy in a thoughtful and holistic manner. 

 

I am dedicated to assisting children in discovering their voice and gaining the confidence to communicate their, desires, and needs. Witnessing how communication can create opportunities not only for individuals but also for their families is what makes my work so fulfilling.

 

I look forward to meeting you and your child guiding you both on your communication journey.
