It is a pleasure to leave a review for Lucy.
Lucy has worked with our daughter over a period of around 12 months. We have seen huge improvements with our daughter's lisp, confidence, and pronounication of tricky speech clusters.
From my perspective as a parent, the warm, engaging, and nurturing clinic, and Lucy's bubbly and positive personality has meant the world to us. Even when our daughter has really struggled, Lucy always took a strength based approach and made us feel safe and that everything would be 'okay'. My daughter adores Lucy because she made all learning fun and playful.
We have worked with many allied health professionals over the years, and no one has come close to how caring, kind, and skilled Lucy is.
Thank you. <3

We’ve had a wonderful experience with Samantha. She has been incredibly patient, kind, and professional throughout our sessions. Our daughter has made noticeable progress in her speech and confidence, and we couldn’t be more grateful!
The sessions are always well-structured, engaging, and tailored to suit my daughter’s needs. Samantha creates such a warm and supportive environment that my daughter looks forward to every visit.
Highly recommend to any families looking for a skilled and compassionate speech therapist!

Samantha is very knowledgeable, professional, kind, patient and very supportive. I’ve been seeing her for past 2 years for my son who’s been diagnosed with CAS (childhood apraxia of speech) and she’s outstanding speech therapist. She’s so dedicated and is able to get so much from my son as he loves her sessions so much.
You would not find a better and more supportive speech pathologist. Highly recommend her.

I am so thankful to have been told about it Sam when the clinic first opened. Sam is very passionate about what she does and takes her business seriously. She is always open to communication with parents about different approaches and has also been a support to me personally as a parent. Thank you, Sam, and happy first birthday!

Samantha has been incredibly supportive of both my girls who are 2 and 3 who had a speech delay and concerns around development. She is honest, helpful, kind, warm and has great skills particularly with kids that have behavioural concerns. I would highly recommend her services. She has a world of knowledge of multidisciplinary teams and is able to suggest best steps to access support and which support would benefit.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does child speech therapy cost in Canada Bay?
Assessment fees for Canada Bay families typically range from $380 to $680 depending on the child’s age and the scope of assessment required. Please contact our team for current session pricing and available funding details.
What age should a child go to speech therapy?
Children can start therapy at any age between 0 and 16 years. The earlier support begins the stronger the outcomes tend to be, though children at every stage of childhood can achieve meaningful progress through targeted therapy.
What happens if my child is shy during paediatric speech therapy?
Yes, we offer telehealth sessions that are just as effective and engaging as in-clinic appointments. This is an excellent option for Canada Bay families who prefer therapy delivered at home or who have busy weekly schedules.
