At Oak & Bloom Therapy, we believe every individual deserves the opportunity to communicate with confidence, build meaningful connections, and thrive.

Our name reflects our philosophy. Like the strength and stability of an oak tree, we aim to provide a solid foundation for growth, while recognising that every person develops in their own unique way. Through compassionate, individualised therapy, we help our clients build skills, confidence, and independence so they can flourish and bloom in their daily lives.

Rooted in support. Growing in confidence.

About us

Meet the Team

Helen Steicke

Founder

Hi, I’m Helen a Certified Practising Speech Pathologist with a Master’s degree in Speech Pathology, and passionate about helping people feel heard, understood, and confident in their everyday communication.

With a background in music and singing, I have a special interest in the connection between voice, oral motor function, and communication. My experience in music has shaped the way I view communication not just as the words we say, but as a powerful way we connect with the people around us.

I enjoy working with both children and adults across a range of communication and swallowing areas, tailoring therapy to each person’s strengths, needs, and goals. I believe the best outcomes come from collaboration, trust, and creating a supportive space where individuals feel empowered to grow.

Outside of work, I love exploring nature and finding inspiration in the world around me. This inspired the philosophy behind Oak & Bloom, when strong roots of connection are nurtured, confidence and self-expression have the space to bloom.
