Speech Pathology

We provide bilingual family-centred speech and language therapy. Our bilingual Speech Pathologists are experienced in providing speech and language assessments and interventions covering a wide range of clinical areas including language development, speech sound development, stuttering, literacy, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and more. Sessions can be delivered in English, Cantonese, or Mandarin.

Occupational Therapy

We focus on helping children develop the skills needed for daily activities and enhancing their overall quality of life. OT practitioners support children with developmental delays, learning difficulties, and mental health challenges by improving self-care tasks, school performance, and social skills. Sessions can be delivered in English, Cantonese, or Mandarin.

Play Therapy

Play therapy can help children express their feelings and navigate challenges in a safe, supportive environment. Our play therapists use techniques such as symbolic play, creative arts, storytelling, and role-playing, tailored to each child’s unique needs. Play therapy effectively supports children facing trauma, anxiety, or behavioral issues, enhancing their social skills, self-esteem, and coping mechanisms. We are dedicated to empowering your child’s emotional resilience and healthy development, ensuring they have the tools to thrive through the universal language of play. Sessions can be delivered in English, Cantonese, or Mandarin.

Psychology

Our psychology service is dedicated to supporting the emotional, behavioural, and mental wellbeing of children, adolescents, and families. We offer evidence-based assessments and therapeutic interventions tailored to each individual’s needs, with a warm, and collaborative approach. Whether you’re seeking support for anxiety, emotional regulation, social challenges, or developmental concerns, our psychologist works closely with clients and caregivers to promote resilience, build strengths, and creates meaningful change in everyday life.

 

Group Therapy

Our group therapy programs provide a supportive and engaging environment for children and young people to build social-emotional, communication, and self-regulation skills alongside peers. Led by experienced therapists, our groups are thoughtfully designed to foster connection, confidence, and growth through play-based and evidence-informed activities. We offer small-group programs targeting a range of developmental needs, including emotional regulation, social thinking, early language, school readiness, and more. Group sessions also provide valuable opportunities for peer interaction, shared learning, and practicing skills in a safe and encouraging setting.

Our cousin’s paediatrician referred their daughter to Blackburn Speech & Paediatric Therapy for suspected autism. They have been so happy with the comprehensive professional services and how they go above and beyond to provide the best individual care they can. I’ve noticed vast improvements in her communication and emotional regulation skills.

My child attends group therapy at this clinic, and the transformation has been amazing. He’s gone from having no friends to starting to build real connections with other children. Before, he struggled to engage with peers, but now he’s learning how to make friends - and it’s been such a joy to watch. I’m so grateful that the therapist designed a group tailored to his needs and took the time to support us as a family. They also set clear, achievable goals so we know exactly what steps he’s working towards. Thank you to the whole team!

My child attends speech, occupational, and play therapy, and we’ve been supported by the team since her diagnosis of global developmental delay. The progress she’s made over the years has been incredible - she went from barely speaking to becoming a little chatterbox! Coming from a Chinese-English bilingual background, I really appreciate the clinic’s unique and culturally sensitive approach to therapy and assessments. Their professional insight has been invaluable in helping us support her journey every step of the way.

My son has been receiving therapy at Blackburn Speech & PD Therapy for six months, and the progress he has made under the care of Chloe, Danielle, and Sonia has been remarkable. Initially, he struggled with speech delay and emotional self-regulation, but now he can clearly express his feelings, which has greatly benefited our entire family. We are deeply grateful to Chloe, Danielle, and Sonia for their dedication and support.
