Speaking Therapy for Adults
Reliable Speaking Therapy for Adults
Sound and Strength offers professional speaking therapy for adults. Communication is central to every part of daily life, from expressing needs to maintaining relationships and participating in work or community activities. For adults who have experienced voice changes, speech difficulties, or communication loss due to injury or illness, speaking therapy can make a life-changing difference.
Annabella Facchin founded Sound and Strength. She is a Certified Practicing Speech Pathologist who offers clients tailored support designed to restore communication skills and confidence. With extensive experience across hospitals, aged care, rehabilitation, and community services, Annabella is passionate about helping individuals achieve their communication goals through holistic, evidence-based therapy. Annabella’s approach is centred on functional outcomes, meaning therapy focuses on practical, real-life improvements rather than isolated exercises. This ensures every session supports communication in meaningful, everyday contexts. Whether sessions are conducted face-to-face or via telepractice, clients can expect the same level of professional care and personalised support.
Understanding the Importance of Speaking Therapy for Adults
Speaking therapy, or speech pathology, plays a vital role in adult rehabilitation and ongoing well-being. Adults may require therapy following a stroke, brain injury, neurological condition, or voice disorder that affects their ability to speak clearly, use their voice effectively, or engage in meaningful conversation. At Sound and Strength, therapy begins with a comprehensive assessment to identify each individual’s strengths and challenges.
This ensures that intervention is highly personalised, focusing not only on improving speech clarity or vocal tone but also on helping clients reconnect with the world around them.
Adults often seek speech pathology support for voice difficulties such as hoarseness, vocal strain, or loss of voice, neurological speech disorders, cognitive-communication issues following acquired brain injury, swallowing difficulties (dysphagia), and communication changes associated with ageing or medical treatment. Sound and Strength provides targeted therapy to help adults regain confidence in speaking, whether for social interaction, work communication, or personal well-being.
Building Confidence and Connection Through Speaking Therapy for Adults
Voice therapy is one of the core services offered by Sound and Strength. Many adults experience voice issues due to vocal misuse, strain, illness, or neurological changes. Teachers, singers, and public speakers, known as professional voice users, are particularly vulnerable to vocal fatigue and hoarseness. Sound and Strength’s voice rehabilitation programs focus on restoring vocal health through exercises that strengthen the vocal cords, improve breath support, and encourage healthy vocal habits.
Clients learn practical techniques to reduce strain, project clearly, and use their voice sustainably.
For adults affected by neurological conditions, Annabella provides specialised therapy to address speech and communication difficulties caused by impaired motor control or muscle weakness. Speaking therapy for adults may involve strengthening exercises, compensatory communication strategies, and education for family members to support effective daily communication. Annabella equips clients with tools, resources, and ongoing support to maintain progress at home and in the community.
