Mrs Avashni Ramnath

Allied Professional

“An experienced Speech-Language Therapist with an interest in working with individuals who have speech, fluency, language and literacy challenges.”

About Me

As an experienced Speech-Language Therapist, I work with individuals facing speech, fluency, language, and literacy challenges. My goal is to help you build clearer communication. We can explore practical, tailored strategies together. This might involve specific exercises for vocal clarity, or structured activities to improve reading comprehension. I create a supportive, collaborative space. Here, you can gain confidence in everyday interactions, expressing yourself more fully.

Approach

Working with people who find talking, reading or getting their words out hard, I focus on small, manageable steps that fit your daily routines. In Sandton or online in English, sessions move at a steady, collaborative pace—short drills, guided practice, and real-life tasks we try between meetings so gains carry over. I use clear feedback and adjust strategies to suit attention, learning profile and family rhythms. This approach suits adolescents, parents and caregivers looking for practical progress and renewed confidence.
