Who we work with.

We support adults who are experiencing:

  • Difficulty being understood or understanding others

  • Speech or voice changes

  • Changes in communication following stroke, brain injury, or neurological conditions

  • Cognitive impairment impacting communication

  • Neurodivergence (including building & maintaining friendships, solving misunderstandings / miscommunication, setting boundaries, self-advocacy, or expressing emotions)

  • Swallowing difficulties impacting eating and drinking.

We also work closely with family, carers, support coordinators, and the wider care team.

How we can help.

Therapy is focused on practical, real-life outcomes - not just exercises.

  • Feel more confident speaking to others

  • Be understood more easily in conversations

  • Better understand your own and others’ communication styles

  • Work towards safer, more comfortable eating and drinking

  • Develop strategies that carry over into daily life.

Why choose LB Speech Pathology?

This isn’t a one-size-fits-all clinic model.

  • Adult-focused therapy

  • Mobile and community-based - therapy in your real environment

  • Experience supporting neurological and complex presentations

  • Empathy through lived experience

  • Practical, functional approach tailored to your goals.
