What I can help with
Communication support for real life
Everyone communicates differently. At True Talkers, therapy starts with understanding you- your strengths, your communication style, what feels difficult and what matters most in your everyday life.
Self-Advocacy
Understand your communication needs and develop ways to communicate what helps you at school, work, home and in the community.
Conversations and Social Communication
Develop strategies for starting, joining and navigating conversations, managing misunderstandings and connecting with others in ways that feel authentic to you.
School and Learning
Support with classroom communication, understanding and expressing complex information, group work, asking for help and communicating with teachers and peers.

Work and Everyday Life

Communication should be effortless, easy and stress-free
Communication differences can sometimes make everyday situations feel confusing, exhausting or overwhelming.
At True Talkers, communication support isn't about changing who you are.

I can help!
I understand how hard it can be when communication becomes a daily source of stress. Whether you’re a school student struggling to make friends or keep up in the classroom, an adult feeling unheard at work, or a parent watching your child fall behind, the impact is real – and it hurts. Without the right support, these challenges can lead to missed opportunities, social disconnection, and emotional burnout. But it doesn’t have to be this way.
Communication support built around the real you.
Personalised Growth
Tailored support that meets you where you are. I focus on your natural communication style, no masking, no pressure, and build strategies around your real strengths.
Real-World Confidence
Support that goes beyond the therapy room, with practical tools you can use at school, work and in everyday life.
Empowerment Through Advocacy
Understand your needs, communicate more assertively and develop the skills to advocate for yourself in educational and workplace settings.
Meet Kristy
Hi, I’m Kristy.
Speech Pathologist | 20+ years' experience
Hi, I'm Kristy, Speech Pathologist and founder of True Talkers.
For more than 20 years, I've worked with children, teenagers and adults across schools, community clinics and private practice.
Over that time, I've seen how easily communication differences can be misunderstood — and the impact that can have on confidence, relationships, learning and everyday life.
I created True Talkers to offer something different: practical, neuro-affirming communication support that starts with understanding the person, not trying to change who they are.
My approach is collaborative, respectful and grounded in real life. We'll focus on the communication situations that matter to you and develop strategies that work with your strengths, preferences and goals.
Because successful communication isn't about communicating like everybody else. It's about having the tools and support to communicate in a way that works for you.
Getting support shouldn’t be overwhelming.
At True Talkers, I know that you want to be confident, connected and in control of your communication. In order to do that, you need support that understands your unique communication style and helps you thrive in school, work, and social life.
The problem is communication differences often go misunderstood, which can leave you feeling isolated, anxious, or like you’re always being misinterpreted.
I believe that everyone deserves to be heard and valued exactly as they are. I understand how frustrating it is to feel unseen or unsupported – which is why I offer specialised, neuro-affirming services tailored to school age children and teens, adults and families.
