Hello, I’m Megan, the founder of CommuniCare Speech Therapy.
I’m passionate about helping people find their voice.
I obtained my degree in Speech-Language Pathology from the University of Pretoria and completed my community service year at Standerton Hospital. Over the past year, I have been affiliated with a private practice in Pretoria and have worked with children at various schools. During this time, I had the privilege of helping individuals of all ages, which deepened my belief that everyone has something to say, no matter the obstacles they may face.
I have a special passion for language, articulation, and stuttering therapy as well as helping children to develop proficient reading and spelling skills.
I work with both children and adults, adapting therapy to meet each individual’s unique needs. My approach is warm, collaborative, and centred on creating a safe and supportive space where real progress can happen. I also love incorporating themes and creative techniques, like storytelling and drawing, to make therapy sessions engaging and effective.
Who am I when I’m not at work? I love spending time with family and enjoy attending a Parkrun over the weekend, mostly for the coffee and chats afterwards.

I am very excited to start this new journey with you!
Hallo, ek is Megan, die eienaar van CommuniCare Spraakterapie.
Ek is passievol daaroor om mense te help om hul stem te vind.
Ek het my graad in Spraak-Taalterapie aan die Universiteit van Pretoria verwerf en my gemeenskapsdiensjaar by Standerton Hospitaal voltooi. Die afgelope jaar is ek verbonde aan ‘n Privaatpraktyk in Pretoria en het ek met kinders by verskeie skole gewerk. Gedurende hierdie tyd het ek die voorreg gehad om mense van alle ouderdomme te ondersteun. My ervaring versterk my opinie dat elkeen iets het om te sê, maak nie saak watter uitdagings hulle tans beleef nie.
Ek het ‘n spesiale passie vir taal-, artikulasie- en hakkelterapie, asook om kinders te help om goeie lees- en spelvaardighede te ontwikkel. Ek werk met kinders en volwassenes en pas terapie aan om elke individu se unieke behoeftes aan te spreek. My benadering is warm, samewerkend en gefokus op die skep van ‘n veilige en ondersteunende ruimte waar werklike vooruitgang kan plaasvind. Ek geniet dit ook om temas en kreatiewe tegnieke, soos storievertelling en tekeninge, in te sluit om terapie-sessies opwindend en effektief te maak.
Wie is ek wanneer ek nie by die werk is nie? Ek hou daarvan om tyd saam met familie deur te bring en geniet dit om oor naweke aan ‘n Parkrun deel te neem, meestal vir die koffie en geselsies daarna.
‘n Aanhaling wat my inspireer: “People will forget what you said. People will forget what you did. But people will never forget how you made them feel.” ~Maya Angelou.
Ek sien baie uit na hierdie nuwe reis saam met julle!
