Christiana joined our clinic to specialise in fluency after working as a generalist speech pathologist in community health services. She offers considerable experience in telehealth delivery of stuttering therapy, working with clients nationally and based overseas.
Christiana fosters strong and caring connections with her preschool and school-aged clients, tailoring her approach to their individual needs. Apart from her professional expertise, Christiana brings the perspective, sensitivity and understanding of a parent who supported her own child with stuttering therapy.
