Hi, I’m Rachel!
I’m a Speech Pathologist with 12 years of experience across Australia and Hong Kong, dedicated to helping little ones find their unique voice.
Growing up in Hong Kong and spending 7 wonderful years in Australia, where I completed my Bachelor’s degree in Sydney and Master of Speech Pathology in Melbourne, I have had the privilege of supporting diverse families across different cultures and backgrounds. My core passion lies in paediatric therapy and helping multilingual families build communication skills that are natural, functional and culturally meaningful.
I truly believe that every child deserves to shine. Real progress happens when we take a holistic approach, actively involving parents, teachers, and loved ones every step of the way.
I have completed additional training in:
- Hong Kong Cantonese Oral Language Assessment Scale (HKCOLAS)
- Hong Kong Test of Preschool Oral Language (Cantonese)
- Toddler Emerging Speech Assessment (TESA)
- Hanen It Takes Two To Talk®
- Hanen More Than Word®
- Hanen TalkAbility™
- Lego®-Based Therapy
- Attention-Autism
- Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS) Level 1
- Liberator Assessment and Implementation for AAC
- Colourful Semantics
- Sounds-Write
- Prompts for Restructuring Oral Muscular Phonetic Targets (PROMPT©)
- TalkTools® Oral Placement Therapy Level 1
In my role as a Senior Speech Pathologist at Talkshop, I have had experience mentoring university students on placement, and designing engaging therapy resources to support paediatric clients and their families.
When I’m off the clock, you might find me cafe hopping, baking, playing the piano, going to concerts or enjoying a beach walk.
