One person.
One pace. One plan.
Good support begins with understanding what matters to you.
Socially Speaking offers online 1:1 sessions that are tailored to the person rather than built around a generic checklist. Goals may relate to communication, emotional wellbeing, social connection, participation, independence or navigating everyday demands.
The team considers your preferences, support needs and current clinician availability before discussing a suitable pathway. Therapy is collaborative, practical and designed to fit into real life.

Your goals sit at the centre.
One goal can touch several parts of everyday life, so support does not need to fit into a single box.

Current clinician availability, fees, funding and individual suitability are confirmed by the Socially Speaking team.
Is one-on-one therapy online?
Yes. Socially Speaking is a telehealth practice and sessions are delivered online, allowing you to join from a familiar space. The team confirms the practical details before your first appointment.
Which therapy discipline is right for me?
That depends on your goals, preferences and the type of support you are seeking. Your enquiry helps the team consider whether counselling, psychology, occupational therapy, speech pathology or another pathway may be the best fit.
Who can enquire?
Socially Speaking supports neurodivergent children, teenagers, young adults, adults and families. Age, goals, clinician fit and current availability are discussed during intake.
What happens after I submit the form?
The team reviews your enquiry and contacts you to discuss your goals, suitable services, clinician availability, fees and next steps. Submitting the form does not guarantee that a particular clinician or discipline is immediately available.
Can NDIS funding be used?
Funding arrangements depend on the participant's plan, goals, management type and the service provided. The team can discuss current fees and whether the proposed support may align with self-managed or plan-managed funding; final use remains subject to the participant's plan.
