Courtney McCulloch

Speech Pathologist and founder of Connect Speech Therapy.

Courtney McCulloch is a Speech Pathologist and the founder of Connect Speech Therapy.

I provide mobile, client-centred speech pathology that focuses on building genuine connections with children and their families.

Therapy is tailored to each individual, using a neuro-affirming and strength-based approach that supports children in ways that are meaningful to their everyday lives.

Courtney prioritises building genuine relationships with the individuals and families she supports, creating a space that is respectful, supportive, and responsive to each person’s unique needs.

Courtney McCulloch has over five years of experience working with children, adolescents, and young adults with a range of communication differences and challenges. She has worked within multidisciplinary teams and values a collaborative approach, regularly working alongside families, educators, and other health professionals to ensure therapy is holistic, consistent and aligned with each individual’s goals.

Courtney graduated from the University of Newcastle in 2021 and is a Certified Practising Member of Speech Pathology Australia. She is committed to ongoing professional development and delivering high-quality, evidence-based care that supports meaningful, functional outcomes.
