I have the privilege of running my own Speech Therapy practice that focuses on making therapy accessible through the provision of teletherapy. I am passionate about empowering people who stutter and training caregivers to facilitate early language stimulation. At Anisha Reddy Speech Therapy we understand the value of learning in one's home language and are privileged to be able to provide speech therapy in English, Afrikaans, isiXhosa and isiZulu.

At My Online Therapist we strive to provide accessible therapy solutions to all in need. As a speech therapist, I work with children of all ages to improve their ability to communicate effectively.

During this year, I worked at a private practice that serviced six hospitals and two schools, in addition to seeing outpatients at our rooms. I gained a wealth of experience working with complex dysphagia cases, such as: people with tracheostomies, Dementia, Parkinson’s disease, Mental healthcare conditions, multiple CVAs, Guillain Barre syndrome and cardiac conditions. As well as people affected by aphasia, apraxia of speech, dysfluency and dysarthria in the acute and subacute settings. I have also gained exposure to dysphagia in the neonatal population. I would have loved to continue serving this community, as I felt I was truly making and impact and growing tremendously as a therapist. However, my position was eliminated as a result of Covid-19 financial fallouts.
