About Me

Hi, I'm Claudine 

Speech Pathologist and Founder of Little Big Words

With over 10 years of experience working with children of all ages and abilities, I started Little Big Words because I wholeheartedly believe in the power of connection, play, and celebrating every child exactly as they are. 

​

I’m passionate about creating safe, neuro-affirming spaces where kids can build their communication skills at their own pace — with playfulness, purpose, and a whole lot of encouragement.

​

I’ve had the privilege of supporting toddlers saying their first words, school-aged children navigating literacy and learning, and teens preparing for life transitions. Every milestone, no matter how small, brings me so much joy, and I’m truly honoured to be a part of each child’s journey. 

​

My therapy is child-led and relationship-first, which means we build trust, follow your child’s interests, and make meaningful progress in ways that feel authentic and respectful. Whether we're working on speech sounds, language, or building confidence in social settings, my goal is always to create a space where your child feels safe, supported, and free to be themselves — quirks, giggles, wobbles, and all.

​​

When I'm not in the clinic or out visiting schools, you'll probably find me chasing down my next coffee, curled up with a cosy book, or getting a little too excited about a new therapy game.

​

At Little Big Words, we believe every voice matters — and I would be honoured to walk alongside your child as they grow, express themselves, and shine in their own beautiful way.
