Meet your Speech Therapist

Shwen Eng graduated with a Masters degree in Speech Pathology from La Trobe University in 2017 and has since gained valuable experience in working in a variety of settings including, private practices, schools, non for profit organisations and public hospitals. In addition to working in these diverse environments, she has collaborated closely with multidisciplinary teams, including physiotherapists, occupational therapists, psychologists, and dietitians. These experiences have shaped her comprehensive approach to speech therapy, equipping her with the skills to support a wide range of communication challenges.

 As a new mum to her son Henry, who inspired the name "Little Hens", Shwen brings a personal understanding of parenthood to her practice. Juggling the demands of family life has deepened her empathy for parents and caregivers, and she is committed to nurturing children in a way that balances both professional expertise and personal insight. Her dedication to working with children is both professional and personal as she strives to create a supportive environment where every child feels empowered to express themselves. Her goal is not only to improve communication and feeding skills, but to also build confidence, independence and social connections that will help children thrive.
