Danielle is a Senior Paediatric Speech Pathologist and the Head of Speech Pathology at The Daisy Clinic. She brings advanced clinical expertise across early intervention, neurodivergent communication, augmentative and alternative communication (AAC), paediatric feeding and dysphagia.

As a clinical leader, Danielle provides guidance, supervision and mentoring to speech pathologists, allied health assistants, university students and emerging clinicians. She is passionate about strengthening clinical practice and supporting the delivery of high-quality, evidence-informed care. Her background in psychology, coaching and mental health further enriches her clinical leadership and enables her to understand each child within the broader context of their development, wellbeing, relationships and environment.

Danielle takes a relational, responsive and family-centred approach to therapy. She is particularly passionate about helping children develop meaningful, functional communication and safe, positive relationships with food through neuro-affirming, strengths-based support.

Recognising that meaningful progress extends beyond the therapy room, Danielle works closely with parents, educators and multidisciplinary teams to develop practical strategies that can be embedded across home, preschool and school environments. She is committed to building the capability of the people surrounding each child, promoting consistency and supporting sustainable outcomes in everyday life.
