About Me
Founder: Sabrina Anderson
I'm a Speech and Language Therapist and Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist working across communication, mental health, education and community development.
Over the years, I've worked alongside children, young people, families, educators, clinicians and system leaders across health, education and community settings. My work spans clinical speech and language therapy, cognitive behavioural psychotherapy, service design, leadership and workforce development. The thread running through it all is communication, connection and belonging.
I'm interested in what creates the conditions for inclusive communication to flourish, helping people build relationships, strengthen identity and experience a sense of belonging.
This thinking has evolved into the Communication for Connection Framework, an emerging approach that continues to develop through clinical practice, consultancy, collaboration and shared learning.
One of the pieces of work I'm most proud of is co-producing a selective/situational mutism pathway and resource hub alongside children, young people, families and professionals. It demonstrated the value of bringing people together to develop communication pathways that reflected lived experience as well as professional knowledge.
My work has increasingly focused on creating the conditions for communication to grow: bringing together different perspectives, supporting shared learning and developing approaches that are meaningful, sustainable and owned by the people involved.
