Anastasia

Speech Pathologist

Anastasia is a kind and passionate Speech Pathologist with a Bachelor of Speech Pathology (Hons). At the heart of her practice is the belief that every child has the right to communicate and be understood, and that all forms of communication deserve to be valued and supported.

Anastasia has experience working with children and adults with a range of support needs through the NDIS, including autism, intellectual disability, global developmental delay and other neurodevelopmental conditions. She has a strong passion in supporting young children to develop their communication skills, including speech, language, social communication and the use of alternative and augmentative communication (AAC).

Anastasia takes a neuroaffirming, child-centred approach to therapy, creating supportive and engaging environments where children can explore, connect and communicate in ways that work for them. She enjoys incorporating play, the child's interests and everyday routines into sessions to make learning meaningful, enjoyable and relevant to each child's life. She also recognises that communication development extends beyond therapy sessions, which is why she values working collaboratively with families, caregivers and other members of a child's support network. Through parent coaching and practical strategies, Anastasia aims to empower those around each child to support their communication development in everyday life.

Outside of work, Anastasia enjoys winding down with a good book or binge-watching her current obsession, Clarkson's Farm. She also loves spending time with friends, sharing a laugh and enjoying some sun. She looks forward to meeting you in the playroom!
