The Communication Studio is an Autistic led, Neurodiversity Affirming, and Trauma Informed Speech Pathology clinic. We are a safe space for people to be who they are, and explore their best, and most genuine selves.

The Communication Clinic was founded in late 2022 after I realised managing a large group practice was taking me away from the work I loved the most.  In 2010 I founded what grew to be a large multidisciplinary allied health clinic. I worked with an amazing team and we achieved some great things over 13 years, changing the shape of allied health services available locally. As the industry changed and the business grew, my role also changed and I found myself constantly pulled away from the work I enjoyed the most. I made the decision to hand over my clinic to others who could thrive in that environment, and launch something more true to myself, that would allow myself, and my clients to flourish.

We tend to do things a little differently here at the studio. We don't believe in a 'one size fits all' approach, and promise to work with you, in ways that work for you (and us!), to help you reach your communication goals. 

We are always open to collaborations and look forward to creating accessible community opportunities with local partners into the future. 

Based in the Beaconsfield, Victoria, we work online, and in person - wherever you need your support to be. You can find out more about our services here

The Communication Studio recognises the importance of acknowledging and respecting the traditional custodians of the lands where we operate. We acknowledge the Bunurong/Boon Wurrung and Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung Peoples of the Kulin Nation, on whose lands we are privileged to live, work and play. We pay our sincere respects to the Elders, past, present, and emerging of lands we are on, and the lands which we visit. We honor their deep connection to land, culture, and community. We acknowledge that sovereignty has never been ceded, and we affirm that this has always been, and will always be Aboriginal Land. We strive to foster allyship and are guided by the leadership and self-determination of First Nations Peoples.

The Communication Studio aims to create a safe and inclusive space for everyone. We celebrate and value diversity, and we firmly stand against any form of discrimination. The Communication Clinic is dedicated to embracing diversity and eradicating all forms of discrimination in the provision of our wellbeing services. We celebrate and affirm people of all ethnicities, faiths, sexual orientations, and gender identities. We actively oppose racism, discrimination, ableism, stigma, and oppression.

The Communication Studio is a proudly neurodivergent affirming practice. We focus on strengths, provide a non-judgemental support for challenges, and prioritise long term wellbeing. We strive to create a safe and inclusive space where everyone is welcome and respected.
