About Sally Says
Helping Children Find Their Voice
Sally Says was founded with a simple belief: every child deserves to communicate freely, confidently, and without frustration. Whether your child is struggling to be understood, building their vocabulary, or working through a stutter, we're here to help.
Founded in West Auckland, Sally Says delivers personalised one-on-one therapy in-person and virtually for families throughout New Zealand. We go beyond the session, equipping caregivers with practical strategies and at-home activities so that progress continues every day, not just during appointments.

My Approach
Family-Centred Practice
Parents and caregivers are the most important people in a child's life. I work with families — not just the child in the session — because the progress that happens at home between sessions is what drives lasting change.
Evidence-Based Therapy
Every approach I use is grounded in current research. I stay up to date with the latest evidence to make sure the therapy I offer gives your child the best possible outcomes.
A Warm, Child-Led Approach
Children learn best when they are engaged and having fun. Sessions are play-based and child-led wherever possible, so therapy feels more like a game than hard work — for children and parents alike.
Clear Communication
You will always understand what we're working on and why. I explain things clearly, answer your questions honestly, and give you practical tools to support your child's progress at home.
