👋 Hi, I'm Lauren, one of the Speech Pathologists here at The Willow Tree Clinic!
I've spent the last 5 years working in health-related fields, supporting families and individuals to become their best selves, whatever that looks like for them. I believe relationships come first, so I always aim to support the whole family, not just the child, as we work together toward their communication goals.
💛 I love working with children and families because every day brings fun, creativity, learning, and a few good challenges along the way. I'm especially passionate about fostering self-advocacy in the early years and building social skills across all ages, because I believe every child deserves the confidence to share their ideas and opinions with the world.
🌳 My favourite part of working at The Willow Tree Clinic is helping children and their families build effective communication, and being part of the journey as children grow into confident communicators who can advocate for themselves.
☀️ Outside of work, you'll usually find me exploring everything Newcastle has to offer with my own family, whether that's wandering through Blackbutt Nature Reserve, building epic sandcastles, riding my bike, or visiting the local art galleries!
