Speech Therapy for New Plymouth Region
If you're a Taranaki professional whose voice is your career tool—teaching, call centres, corporate leadership—vocal strain is a professional risk, not just a health concern. Waiting months whilst your effectiveness declines isn't acceptable. Your voice is your livelihood. It deserves immediate specialist care.
Taranaki's thriving professional economy—oil, gas, healthcare, finance, corporate industries—creates unique speech therapy needs for voice users: teachers, healthcare workers, customer service staff, and professionals whose voices are essential career tools. Public hospital wait times delay treatment whilst occupational voice disorders worsen.
We bring Te Whatu Ora hospital expertise to your New Plymouth home or office via secure telehealth. Same-week appointments available—no time off work, no disrupting professional commitments, no specialist travel stress.
Sacha Allnatt (NZSTA #12789, 15+ years Te Whatu Ora) specialises in voice disorders, chronic cough, professional voice care, and occupational communication challenges. Career-focused therapy from home.

Your communication matters, and specialist support makes all the difference.

You'll meet with Sacha via secure video link from your New Plymouth home or office. Sessions are just like in-person therapy - we'll work on exercises, techniques, and strategies tailored to your needs. All you need is a device with a camera and stable internet connection.
Absolutely. Many Taranaki professionals - teachers, healthcare workers, corporate employees, customer service staff - develop occupational voice disorders from sustained voice use. We provide evidence-based therapy to restore vocal health, prevent strain, and optimize professional communication.
Taranaki Base Hospital provides excellent public speech therapy services, but high demand often means wait times for appointments. Our private telehealth service offers same-week access with the same clinical expertise, particularly valuable for working professionals who need timely intervention.
Most adult speech, voice, and communication conditions can be effectively treated via telehealth, including voice disorders, chronic cough, professional voice care, and upper airway conditions. During your initial assessment, we'll confirm telehealth suitability for your specific needs.
We serve all of the Taranaki region via telehealth - New Plymouth city, Inglewood, Stratford, Waitara, Eltham, and throughout the region. No matter where you are in Taranaki, you can access expert speech therapy without travel.
We typically offer same-week appointments for New Plymouth telehealth sessions. For working professionals with limited time off, this immediate access prevents voice problems from worsening while waiting for public healthcare appointments.
Initial telehealth assessment (75 minutes): $167. Follow-up sessions (45 minutes): $127. These are lower than in-person rates while providing the same expert care from a Te Whatu Ora clinician. Many professionals find this investment worthwhile for career longevity.
Some workplace voice injuries or occupational disorders may be covered by ACC. We can provide documentation and coordinate with your employer's occupational health team. We recommend checking with ACC or your employer about coverage for work-related voice conditions.
