About my practice

Dia dhuit! Kia Ora! Hello! Is mise Niamh.

I’m a paediatric Speech & Language Therapist dedicated to supporting your child’s communication in their everyday environment, as well as empowering you to know exactly how to help your child in everyday life.

What Makes My Service Different?

🌱 Strengths-Based, Always
I focus on what your child can do. By building on their strengths, we create meaningful, confidence-boosting progress that feels natural and achievable.

🏡 Therapy That Comes to You
No clinics, no added stress. I work with your child in their real, everyday environment—at home or in school—where they feel most comfortable and learning happens best.

🤝 You’re Part of the Team
Children thrive when the adults around them feel confident too. I work closely with parents, teachers, and caregivers, giving you practical tools to support your child every day.

🌍 A Truly Inclusive Approach
With first-hand experience in New Zealand’s inclusive education system, I bring fresh, real-world strategies that support not just your child—but the whole environment around them.

🎓 Tailored Workshops & Training
From parents to preschools to whole school teams, I offer engaging, practical training that’s completely customised to your needs.

👶 Support from the Very Beginning
You don’t have to wait. I support families from the earliest stages—even before your baby arrives—helping you feel prepared, informed, and confident from day one.

You’re in safe, experienced hands.

Here’s what other parents think…

“Niamh is a fabulous person, she is always only a text or phonecall away when I have needed reassurance or had any questions. My little boy has the biggest smile when he sees Niamh coming through the front door and he really enjoys the sessions. Niamh has been a wonderful support to me and my little boy over the last 8 months, she wasted no time in making the referrals needed to support us further. Thank you Niamh for your kindness and compassion during a very emotional time for me as a Mother on the journey to hearing my little boy’s voice 💙” – Laura, Mom of a 2 year old, Co Kerry.
“I was so impressed with Niamh from the first phone call, before even starting to work with my daughter she took the time to get to know her, I felt her approach was better than any therapist I’d come across before. In the past I’ve felt that work that was given to my daughter was very generic but not with Niamh. She tailored everything to suit C, visiting and observing her, both at school and at home!” – Maura, Co. Kerry
