About Us

At The Talk Lab, we build support teams for children, starting with understanding parents’ experiences. Since April 2020, we’ve grown to provide tailored resources, fostering inclusive, supportive environments for speech therapy journeys.

Hello and warm greetings!

I’m Lee Tran, and I’m incredibly passionate about my work as a speech pathologist. My dedication lies not just in enhancing communication skills but also in creating lasting connections within families and the wider community.

My curiosity about the power of communication and the role language plays in our lives led me to a career in speech pathology. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Speech Pathology from the University of Newcastle in 2014. Those formative years provided invaluable insights and skills in addressing various communication disorders.

As a mother, I deeply empathize with the challenges, anxieties, and concerns that parents face when their child encounters hurdles in developing communication and language skills. I understand how overwhelming it can be to find the ideal therapy service to cater to your child’s needs. Recognizing the stress of this journey, I am committed to working closely with parents, caregivers, and other health professionals, ensuring unwavering support throughout every step.

Central to my philosophy is customizing interventions to meet individual needs. I pursue a family-centered approach, always tailoring therapies accordingly. My dedication to continuous learning and staying updated with the latest research ensures that the therapies I provide are evidence-based and innovative.

Collaboration is at the core of my practice. Engaging with families and the broader community is essential to my approach. I believe that fostering partnerships leads to more comprehensive and impactful outcomes.

Throughout my career, I’ve collaborated with diverse families and communities to empower individuals of all ages, helping them unlock their communication potential. My true passion lies in making a tangible difference through effective communication strategies. If you’re seeking support to enhance communication skills, I would be thrilled to connect and assist you on this journey.

How we work​

All families and children are different, so we adopt a client and family centred approach. This means that each therapy session is individually tailored to you and your child so we can build a collaborative, fun, and engaging experience for your little one. Results take time and consistency is key, so therapy strategies are built and implemented into your everyday routine. This maximises every opportunity for your child to use and practice their communication skills across contexts and show off their very best selves. To ensure we make progress, we work closely with your family and the team around your child to help support, build capacity, empower and guild them through their journey.
