Do I need a referral to see a speech pathologist?

No referral is needed to see one privately. You only need a GP referral if you want to access Medicare rebates or are going through certain funded pathways.

Is speech therapy covered by the NDIS?

It can be, usually under Capacity Building / Improved Daily Living, if it aligns with your child's plan goals. Check your plan or ask your support coordinator.

At what age should we see a speech pathologist?

There's no "too early." If you have concerns about your child's talking or understanding at any age, an assessment can clarify whether support would help.

How long are sessions and how many will we need?

Sessions are typically 30-60 minutes. The number depends on your child's goals; the pathologist will recommend a plan after the initial assessment.

What Therapywell helps with

Individual Counselling

A talking-based support that helps people work through emotional difficulties, relationship challenges, grief, stress or mental health concerns. A counsellor listens without judgement and helps you develop coping strategies and a clearer sense of direction.

Speech Pathology

Assessment and treatment of communication difficulties including speech sounds, language development, stuttering, voice, and feeding and swallowing. Speech pathologists work with children and adults to help them communicate clearly and confidently.

Occupational Therapy

A therapy that helps children and adults develop the everyday skills needed for daily life — from dressing, writing and play to sensory processing and school participation. Occupational therapists assess what is getting in the way and design practical strategies to build independence and confidence.

Psychology

Assessment and therapy provided by a registered psychologist to support mental health, emotional wellbeing and behaviour. Psychologists work across the lifespan — helping children, adolescents and adults understand and manage challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma and learning differences.

Assessments

A thorough evaluation by a psychologist using standardised tests, interviews and observation to understand a person's cognitive, emotional and behavioural functioning. Results inform diagnosis and guide recommendations for therapy, school adjustments and support services.

Family Therapy

Therapy that works with the whole family — or key members — to improve communication, resolve conflict and strengthen relationships. It recognises that difficulties often affect and are affected by family dynamics, and works on shared patterns rather than focusing on one individual alone.

Couples Therapy

Therapy for couples experiencing relationship difficulties, communication breakdowns or major life transitions. A therapist helps partners understand each other's perspectives, improve communication and work toward a healthier, more connected relationship.

Adolescent Therapy

Therapy tailored to the developmental and emotional needs of children and teenagers, addressing challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, identity, social difficulties and school-related stress. Therapists use age-appropriate approaches that engage young people on their own terms.

Children & Parenting Support

Interventions and services to promote parental knowledge, skills, and confidence in raising healthy children.

Group Therapies

Structured group sessions including discussions, psychoeducation, role-playing, creative expression, and experiential exercises.

Equine Facilitated Therapy

Alternative therapy using horses and nature connection to address emotional, cognitive, behavioural, and relational issues for children and adults.

EMDR Therapy

Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based therapy for trauma and PTSD. Using bilateral stimulation (typically eye movements), it helps the brain reprocess distressing memories so they no longer cause intense emotional reactions.

School-Based Support

Prevention, early intervention, and targeted interventions for students struggling academically, socially, emotionally, or behaviorally.

Video & Telephone Counselling

Remote or online counselling where clients and counsellors communicate through video or telephone calls.

Expressive Therapies

Therapeutic approaches utilising creative modalities such as play, art, music, dance/movement, and drama for healing and emotional growth.

Our approach

Therapywell uses a collaborative, strengths-based approach that treats the whole person rather than just a diagnosis. Sessions focus on building meaningful therapeutic relationships in a warm, calm, and inviting space designed to help you feel at ease. The philosophy prioritises connection through compassion, collaboration, and clear communication, with an emphasis on achieving positive long-term outcomes rather than just managing crises. Your first session is a chance to get to know your clinician and talk about what you hope to gain from therapy, with a focus on understanding your story, the important people in your life, and the support you are looking for—there is no pressure to share more than you feel ready to.

Working with families

The provider welcomes parents and carers as active partners in the therapy process and offers family therapy, parenting support, and child-focused approaches across disciplines. The practice believes that the best outcomes are achieved when working as a single team that includes the client and their supports. The Client Care Team is available to support families from the initial contact, answering questions, guiding next steps, and helping families access the care they need on their journey to wellbeing.

The team includes experienced clinicians across multiple disciplines: Brooke Shakspeare (Senior Psychotherapist and Mental Health Social Worker specialising in trauma, attachment, child and youth mental health, perinatal mental health, and family therapy); Kym Robinson (experienced Speech Pathologist with expertise in language, learning difficulties, and trauma); Rebecca Clerehan (20-year Occupational Therapist working with children, youth, and families with complex needs); Dr Sabrina Chan (Clinical Psychologist offering psychological assessments and support across the lifespan); Georgia Wells (Registered Psychologist passionate about children, youth, and young adults); Jack Gorman (Registered Psychologist facilitating therapeutic groups and assessments); Karen Lochran (Occupational Therapist with 29 years' experience in mental health); Jannie Olsen (Family Therapist and Mental Health Social Worker); Jay Bakrania (Clinical Psychology Registrar with 15+ years' experience with children and families); Jasmin Treloar (Speech Pathologist supporting children and young people); Ania Harnden (Accredited Mental Health Social Worker and EMDR Practitioner); and Caitlin Mumme (neuroaffirming Occupational Therapist).

Your first visit

Your first session is a chance for you and your clinician to get to know each other and talk about what you hope to gain from therapy. The focus is on understanding you—your story, the important people in your life, and the support you are looking for. There is no pressure to share more than you feel ready to. Extended 90-minute intake sessions are available in addition to standard 60-minute appointments. Your clinician will explain confidentiality and its limits with you at your first session, and everything you share remains confidential except where the law requires disclosure, such as where there is serious risk of harm.
