Meet Raina
PAEDIATRIC SPEECH & LANGUAGE PATHOLOGIST
Hi, I’m Raina
I’m a Paediatric Speech and Language Pathologist passionate about creating a space for children to thrive.
I provide child-centred, neurodiversity-affirming therapy that celebrates each child’s unique strengths, interests and way of communicating. My approach focuses on building meaningful connections, creating positive therapy experiences, and supporting families in ways that feel practical, collaborative and empowering.
I support children across a range of communication areas including speech sound delays and disorders, Childhood Apraxia of Speech, early language development, school-age language difficulties, stammering and literacy.
Sessions are play-based, engaging and tailored to each child’s individual goals and personality.
I believe children learn best when they feel safe, connected and genuinely enjoyed for who they are. My aim is to create therapy spaces where children can build confidence, develop communication skills and experience success in ways that feel meaningful to them and their families.
