Voice problems cause unwanted stress and anxiety, especially if you rely on your voice as the main tool of your trade.

Is your voice hoarse, scratchy, sore, tight, rough, gravelly, weak, breathy, fatigued or feeling constricted? Are your clearing your throat more often than normal?

These are common voice complaints that can be effectively treated by a speech pathologist who has a special interest and training in voice therapy.

Anyone who uses their voice as a ‘tool of their trade’ could benefit from vocal training or vocal coaching.

If you are a singer, podcaster, actor, teacher, salesperson, lawyer, personal trainer, hairdresser, radio announcer or auctioneer – vocal training is like an insurance policy for your career.

Vocal training is tailor-made to suit your individual needs and your profession.

Accent Reduction is a systematic approach that helps you to reduce or change your accent, or to adopt a new accent for whatever personal or professional motivation you may have.

Accent Reduction Therapy can sometimes be referred to as elocution, accent modification or accent neutralisation.

It involves teaching the sounds and patterns of a new or desired language.

I have spent over 30 years helping people of all ages improve their ability to effectively communicate, be it through rectification of speech disorders, or simply improving the skills, competence and confidence with which they communicate.

My specific area of interest is in helping adults who may have language, speech or other challenges with general social skills.
