About Us
Holistic Service Designed For Children & Their Families.
Expressive Minds Speech Pathology is more than just a speech therapy clinic—it is a values-driven service built on compassion, integrity, inclusiveness, and passion. Led by our Director and Senior Speech Pathologist, Melody Tafaghodi, we are committed to empowering children, young people, and adults through personalised, evidence-based support.
Our clinicians have over 8 years of experience in private practice, community healthcare, childcare, and school-based settings, ensuring comprehensive and tailored therapy across diverse environments. We specialise in working with individuals with neurodevelopmental differences, complex communication needs, and speech or language challenges at any stage of life.
At Expressive Minds, we believe in fostering meaningful connections and working collaboratively with families, schools, and healthcare professionals. Our mission goes beyond therapy—we strive to create an inclusive and supportive environment where every individual feels valued, heard, and empowered to reach their full potential.
