Welcome. I am really glad you are here.

At Perth Hills Allied Health, we believe that people grow best when they feel safe, understood and connected. That has always been the foundation of our work. Children, families and professionals deserve spaces where they can breathe, settle and be met with genuine care.

Communication is not only about words. It is about relationship and trust. It is about helping a child feel comfortable enough to share their world with you in whatever way comes naturally to them. When we honour that, learning becomes lighter and far more meaningful.

Our Practice

Our practice is shaped by four values that have guided me for most of my life: support, growth, connection and family.

These values come from my childhood in Zimbabwe, from the many families who have walked through my doors and from my own journey as a parent. They continue to shape how we work and how we show up.

This is why I created Perth Hills Allied Health. I wanted:

  • A place where therapy felt gentle and human.

  • A place where children do not need to perform.

  • A place where parents feel respected and heard.

  • And a place where therapists can grow in a way that aligns with who they are, not who they think they should be.

Today, our work flows through three streams.

Three stream of our work

STREAM 01

Speech Therapy for Children

Therapy needs to feel safe for children. It needs to feel kind and spacious enough for them to arrive in their own time.

We offer strengths based, child led speech therapy for children up to the end of Year 7. Our sessions are grounded in play, curiosity and connection. We follow your child’s interests, honour their communication in all forms and make space for the small, important moments where confidence grows.

Children flourish when they feel seen just as they are. That is the heart of our approach.

STREAM 02

Adult Learning Zones

Our Adult Learning Zones were created because learning should feel clear, supportive and deeply relevant to the real world. These sessions are for therapists, teachers and parents who want guidance that is both practical and affirming.

I know what it feels like to look for direction and not know where to turn. I know the weight of wanting to do the best for your clients or your child. These spaces exist to offer clarity without pressure and learning without judgement.

People often leave feeling more grounded and more connected to their purpose.

STREAM 03

Di Van Der Walt

| Aligned Leadership

This is the home of my mentoring and The Therapists Haven, a community created for those who carry a lot on their shoulders and simply need a safe place to land.

I know how isolating it can feel to support others while wondering if you are getting it right yourself. I am here to be your go-to professional support through 1:1 supervision and group mentoring or by speaking to your team about the topics closest to my heart like connection, community, and the power of staying aligned.

You do not have to do any of this on your own. My goal is to provide a grounded space for reflection and connection so that you and the people you lead can truly thrive.

You are Welcome here

Whether you are here for your child, for your professional learning or for a sense of belonging, I want this to feel like a place where you can exhale.

  • A place where you feel respected.

  • A place where your child feels understood.

  • A place where support is steady and growth is always possible.

You belong here.
