Speech Pathology Mentoring

with Ishwari Samarakoon

 

1:1 Clinical Mentoring

Supporting you to build a career you love, with clarity, confidence and calm

Whether you’re growing your clinical skills to feel more at ease in sessions, becoming the go-to person in your niche, supervising others, or taking on more responsibility in your team, you’ll be fully supported and equipped to make it happen. In a way that fits who you are and how you work best.

Who this is for

Clinical mentoring is for speechies working in a job. New grads finding their feet, clinicians building depth in a niche, and anyone who wants a clinical sounding board they can think out loud with.

It’s the right fit if your questions are about your caseload, your clinical decisions, your reports, or how you’re tracking in your role.

If you own a practice and the questions on your mind are about your team, your systems, or how the business runs, business coaching is the better fit.

Mentoring in Action

“My biggest takeaway was how to keep myself regulated and get over the imposter syndrome. I’m a much better person, and speechie since putting into practice her teachings. I feel so confident in what the future holds for me and I love my job. I absolutely believe that this mindset was borne from our weekly coaching, which is why I will be continuing as a mentee. Still so much to learn.

Highly, highly recommend Ish to any new grad. She will change your life!”

 

Tanya

“I always walk away from our Zoom sessions feeling positive and on top of the world, and I want to put everything we talked about into fruition asap.” 

 

Cheyenne – Bluebell Allied Health

“I feel empowered! I love how much theory you can squeeze into a pd… and then still have time to make it practical”.

Jayde

“Zoom sessions very helpful, particularly enjoying information around EBP and more of your special interest areas… All client information has been helpful and easy to implement straight away”

 

Piper – Regional WA

“She helped me with ways to simplify my admin, decrease research time, limit resource costs and choose appropriate systems to make work-life more manageable. She also has great clinical knowledge.”
