As a neurodivergent speech pathologist, she recognises the significance of providing collaborative, strengths-based support, emphasising connection, dignity, and quality of life in her speech therapy sessions.

Hi! I'm Ashleigh. I am proudly neurodivergent speech pathologist, and my lived experience deeply informs the way I practice. It allows me to bring genuine empathy, insight and respect to my work, particularly when supporting neurodivergent individuals and their families.
I’m passionate about building strong relationships and creating a supportive, positive environment where clients feel comfortable and empowered. I’m committed to ongoing learning and providing high-quality, meaningful therapy.
Outside of work, you'll find me enjoying time with family and friends, diving into a good book, or exploring the local beaches and parks with my two small boys.
