Hi, I’m Shannon

the principal speech pathologist at Proud Speech Pathology, where I support young children in Eglinton and Perth's northern suburbs with early speech and language development.

I hold a Bachelor of Speech Pathology with First Class Honours from Edith Cowan University and have more than five years of experience supporting young children and their families. I'm a Certified Practising Speech Pathologist (CPSP) with Speech Pathology Australia, which means I meet the association's standards for ongoing professional development and ethical practice.

My work is grounded in a child-led, play-based, and neuro-affirming approach. I understand that communication develops alongside regulation, confidence, and connection, not separately from them. When children feel safe and understood, learning follows. Parents know their children best, and I see therapy and assessment as a partnership built on listening, clarity, and shared understanding.

I feel genuinely privileged to support children in their communication journey, whether that means building early language, refining speech clarity, strengthening narrative skills, or developing the executive functioning foundations that support communication.

Alongside therapy, I offer early language guidance consultations and speech and language assessments for families seeking clarity about their child’s development. Sometimes reassurance and direction are just as powerful as intervention.

At the heart of Proud Speech Pathology is a simple belief: every child deserves to be understood, and every family deserves to feel confident, informed, and supported in the process.
