Speech & Occupational Therapy

At Therapy Alliance, we offer personalised therapy services designed to meet the unique needs of each individual. We're committed to providing care that empowers and supports every participant to thrive in their everyday lives. The best therapeutic outcomes happen when people are supported in the natural environment (e.g. at home, at work, school, or in the community), so we come to you or provide Telehealth services to ensure the best possible results.

Currently we support self and plan managed NDIS participants as our NDIS registration is in progress.

We are passionate about supporting adults and elderly participants who are experiencing significant challenges with communication and swallowing. Our approach is grounded in person-centered care, guided by the latest evidence-based practices, and completely individualised to each participant’s needs.

With experience in both general and complex dysphagia, our team provides therapy for a broad range of medical conditions, including stroke recovery, traumatic brain injury, dementia, intellectual disability, and progressive neurological diseases. We understand that each person’s situation is unique, and so are the strategies we use to support them.

Our role is to help participants improve or maintain their quality of life through therapy that is practical, functional, and deeply respectful of their personal goals and environment. By focusing on what matters most in day-to-day life, whether it's communicating with loved ones, eating safely, or maintaining independence, we aim to deliver outcomes that make a real difference.

Through collaboration, compassion, and experiences clinical support, we’re here to provide meaningful support in a way that feels empowering, achievable, and truly person-centered

We are passionate about supporting children (0-17 yrs) with diverse medical backgrounds to thrive. Through Telehealth consultations, personalised support is provided to children facing developmental challenges, with a focus on improving their functional skills.

Our Paediatric Occupational Therapist Kate, uses a collaborative parent coaching model designed for parents, teachers, and carers. We believe the best outcomes happen when the adults in a child’s life feel confident and supported. Through tailored guidance, hands-on strategies, and ongoing support, we help you integrate therapeutic techniques into everyday moments, whether at home, in the classroom, or in daily care routines. This approach builds consistency, strengthens relationships, and supports long-term development.

Face-to-face services will be available in the Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, and Maitland areas starting in early 2026.
