About The Communication Clinic
The Communication Clinic began in Maitland in 2011 when Catriona Collins returned home after founding her practice in New Zealand. With over 20 years’ experience in public and private speech pathology practice, Catriona now heads a team of professionals across clinics across multiple locations with our head office in East Maitland.
Working with children, teenagers and adults, we are experienced in an extensive range of communication supports, including speech, feeding, literacy, language, behaviour and alternate and augmented communication (AAC). The team at The Communication Clinic is here to help you and your family thrive.
Holistic communication support
The team at The Communication Clinic is here to provide support with evidence-based and holistic speech therapy services. Taking a collaborative approach, we work with you and other professionals to give much-needed communication support to you, your child or loved one to reduce frustration and build confidence.
Our fully-qualified speech pathologists are Certified Practising Speech Pathologists and members of Speech Pathology Australia. They are trained in a range of leading research-based communication programs and have experience in working with people of all ages, from young children through to teens and older adults.
Our goal is to provide a positive outcome taking into account your situation, your communication preferences and your goals. We’re here to not only support you or your loved ones but to also give you the knowledge and skills you need to support them too.
