Supporting & Empowering Participants to Thrive

At Therapy Alliance, we offer personalised adult Speech Pathology support designed around the unique needs, goals, and strengths of each individual. We are passionate about supporting adults and elderly participants experiencing significant challenges with communication and swallowing. We believe in the power of collaboration, inclusion, compassion, and trust, and we're committed to providing care that empowers every participant to thrive and live their best life.

Our Approach

Our care is grounded in person-centred practices, guided by the latest evidence, and completely individualised to each participant's needs. We work with participants managing a broad range of conditions, including stroke recovery, traumatic brain injury, dementia, Down syndrome, and progressive neurological diseases such as Parkinson's Disease, Motor Neuron Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, and many more. Our role is to help participants improve or maintain their quality of life through support that is practical, functional, and respectful of their personal goals and environment. By focusing on what matters most in day-to-day life, whether that's communicating with loved ones, eating safely, or maintaining independence, we aim to deliver outcomes that make a real difference. Through collaboration, compassion, and experienced clinical support, we're here to provide meaningful care in a way that feels empowering, achievable, and truly person-centred.

A Special Focus on Dysphagia (swallowing difficulties) & Mealtime Support

We have a particular passion for, and extensive experience in, supporting adults with dysphagia (swallowing difficulties) and mealtime challenges, across both general and complex presentations, living with all disabilities. We are dedicated to helping people eat, drink, and take medications as safely and independently as possible, while preserving dignity, choice, and quality of life. Our approach supports individuals to continue enjoying meaningful mealtime experiences, maintain social connections around food and drink, and achieve their personal goals.

Where we service

Because the best therapeutic outcomes happen in natural environments, we come to you, whether that's at home, at work, or in the community, or provide Telehealth services to ensure the most effective support possible. We service Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Maitland and the Northern Central Coast.

Who we support

We are NDIS registered and proudly support self-managed, plan-managed, and agency-managed participants.

Meet Amie, Manging Director & Senior Adult Speech Pathologist

Amie is the Managing Director and Senior Adult Speech Pathologist for Therapy Alliance. Amie is incredibly dedicated and passionate about her work. She founded Therapy Alliance with a vision that the heart of every therapy experience lies in the foundation of a strong therapeutic alliance. This connection is not just a professional relationship, but a partnership built on trust, respect, and inclusion. For Amie, establishing such an alliance is not just a goal, it's a cornerstone of her practice.

Amie’s approach to support is centered around the belief that holistic care doesn’t happen in isolation. It thrives when client, therapist and others involved in the care team are aligned in purpose and goals. Her vision is simple yet profound: to create a space where individuals feel heard, understood, and empowered to take the steps toward their best selves.

Her whole career has been dedicated to continuing to build her knowledge and experience in general & complex dysphagia across all medical conditions, stroke recovery, traumatic brain injury, dementia, intellectual disability and progressive diseases, to provide the best possible tailored support. Amie is SPEAK OUT! certified and has completed the McNeill Dysphagia Therapy Program. 

When she's not working, Amie loves spending quality time with her favourite humans, her Frenchie Frankie, soaking up the sun, spending time in nature, supporting the Matilda's, reading romantasy crime, or psychological thriller novels, immersing herself in her Aboriginal culture as a proud Gomeroi woman, and enjoying amazing food or coffee.

 Amie services Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, and the Northern Central Coast. If you think Amie might be a good fit to support you, your loved one or participant, contact us today.
