Hi there! I'm Iana, a dedicated communication specialist here to empower you to communicate and fully embrace your daily lives, no matter what they may be!
I have a deep passion for supporting clients who struggle with their social skills. I use a strengths-based approach to foster their growth at home or school. I also enjoy working with adults on communication challenges like Aphasia, Dysarthria and Cognitive-Communication Disorders.
Through telehealth, I create a warm and welcoming space for families, celebrating neurodiversity and helping everyone reach their fullest potential. Let's work together to enhance communication skills for all ages!

KIDS
Let me help you raise an independent and curious learner!
We learn through one-on-one sessions with a hands-on approach to address language, speech or social communication difficulties. Each session lasts between 45 and 60 minutes.
I am dedicated to helping children and adolescents communicate effectively and achieve their academic and social communication goals.
We work together as team, with families and caregivers to achieve the best outcomes, utilizing
strength-based, dynamic, and neurodiversity-affirming approaches. Yay!
Social Skills
Let's hone in on those social skills together!
Do you sometimes have trouble understanding the meaning of a conversation? Maybe it's difficult to get your message across to others?
In our one-on-one sessions, I will help you navigate your way through those challenges:
-
Forming and maintaining friendships
-
Managing arguments and disagreements
-
Understand humour and its appropriate use
- to name a few!
We'll keep it casual but efficient, so you have the room to grow without feeling overwhelmed :)

Flexible Telehealth Services
Across Australia
I provide telehealth services that allow my clients to receive care in the environments where they feel most comfortable, like their homes, schools, or aged care facilities. Using this approach allows me to connect with others in a genuine way, fostering trust and understanding. By taking the time to engage, I can build strong relationships that lead to meaningful interactions. This rapport not only enhances communication but also creates a positive environment for collaboration. I find great satisfaction in serving my clients, many of whom might otherwise struggle to access therapy and assessment services.
