Who we are
At Shining Minds, we are thoughtful and experienced Speech Therapists focusing on creating a space where children can grow and develop.
We aim to create an inclusive speech pathology practice that celebrates every individual. Our focus is on person-centered care, creativity, and confidence, embracing a therapy style that values the whole person.
We know how busy life can be, so we offer flexible service options to meet families where they’re most comfortable and what feels best to support the young person. Whether that’s in your home or community, via telehealth, or at our welcoming clinic space in Wyong.
Welcome!

Director & Speech Pathologist CPSP, Ba. (hons)
she/herHey! I’m Hannah, a neurodivergent Speech Pathologist with a passion for empowering children and families to communicate with confidence.
I have extensive experience working within both the disability sector and the education system, and I’m deeply committed to providing neurodiversity-affirming, person-centred therapy. My areas of special interest include Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC), social-emotional development for preteens and teenagers, and group-based learning. I’m currently completing a Diploma in Counselling to further strengthen my holistic approach in supporting children, families, and young people across the community.
I believe children thrive when they are supported through positive peer-learning environments, and I love creating spaces where communication, creativity, and inclusion can flourish. My approach is grounded in empowerment, connection, and joyful learning.
I am also studying to become a counsellor, and I hope this new knowledge can provide further scope under the emotional and mental health lens and improve my standards of care, particularly when working with vulnerable children and young adults.
I live on the Central Coast with my husband and our beautiful toddler. We love camping, travelling, and doing anything near the water.
