Catherine established Smart Talk in 2000. Initially the service arose to fill the needs of school-aged children. It has since evolved to cater to the needs of toddlers, primary and secondary school children in a fun, vibrant kid-friendly atmosphere. For more information see services.

In 2015, Lauren and Catherine established a partnership. In 2019, Smart Talk Speech Pathology expanded their services to become Smart Talk Therapy for Kids, a multidisciplinary paediatric centre which consists of Speech Pathology and Occupational Therapy services. In 2022 Lauren became the CEO and owner of Smart Talk Therapy for Kids so Catherine could focus solely on her passion clinical practise. As the principal Speech Pathologist Catherine remains heavily involved in mentoring and hands on therapy.

We believe that working in multidisciplinary team enables us to view a client holistically, which results in the highest standards of practice for the child and their family.
