Areas I Serve: Speech Therapy in Newcastle

Welcome to The Speech Connection, where I, Christie, offer professional and personalised speech and language therapy for children across Newcastle. With extensive experience in both the NHS (public health) and private healthcare in Sydney, I provide expert support tailored to your child’s specific needs, helping them overcome communication challenges and flourish.

Why Choose Me?

As a highly trained and experienced children’s speech and language therapist, I have worked in a variety of settings, including public healthcare in the UK and private practice in Australia. These diverse experiences have equipped me with a well-rounded approach, allowing me to provide therapy that is engaging, evidence-based, and tailored to your child’s individual goals.

I am passionate about empowering children to develop their communication skills and work closely with parents, caregivers, and schools to create a supportive environment for progress.

I specialise in supporting children with a variety of speech and language needs. My sessions are designed to be fun and engaging, ensuring your child feels motivated and supported throughout their therapy journey.

In person therapy sessions

I offer in person therapy sessions at my dedicated therapy space at the Royal Quays Community Centre. This space has been thoughtfully set up to maximise the development of your child's communication.

Before the first session, I will send you detailed information about myself, including my background, qualifications, and what to expect during the assessment. This helps both you and your child feel prepared and at ease.

My mobile service means I can work with families across Newcastle and surrounding areas, providing the same high-quality, personalised care wherever you are

My Experience

With years of experience working in the NHS, I have supported children with a wide range of speech and language needs, helping them achieve their communication goals within the public health system.

During my time in private practice in Sydney, I worked with children in individual therapy sessions and collaborative school-based programmes, gaining valuable experience in tailoring therapy to suit each child’s unique circumstances.

This blend of public and private sector expertise allows me to deliver adaptable and effective therapy to families in Newcastle.
