Meet the Founding Director and Speech Pathologist, Talia Givoni

Talia Givoni (formerly Blumberg) is a certified practising speech pathologist and the founder of The Talking Ground. She holds a Bachelor of Science (Masters of Speech Pathology) with Honours and was recognised as Dux of her graduating year. Talia is a certified member of Speech Pathology Australia and is dedicated to providing evidence-based, holistic, and neuroaffirming therapy that is tailored to each individual’s needs.

​

Talia is passionate about helping children, adolescents, and their families build strong communication skills, grow in confidence, and feel supported in every step of their journey. She creates a calm, inclusive, and nurturing environment where each person’s strengths are celebrated and their potential encouraged to flourish.

Approach

At The Talking Ground, therapy is grounded in communication and designed to support growth in confidence. Talia’s approach is client-centred and respectful of neurodiversity, recognising that communication is deeply connected to emotional regulation, relationships, and overall well-being.

She works closely with families, educators, and other professionals to ensure therapy is connected, consistent, and centred on the whole person. Every session is tailored to the individual, focusing on their strengths, needs, and preferred communication style.

Training & Experience

Talia is trained in a range of evidence-based programs, which inform her individualised therapy style, including:
​

  • Social Stencil

  • Sounds Write

  • Kelly Mahler’s Interoception Curriculum

  • The Lidcombe Program

  • Hanen’s It Takes Two to Talk

​
This expertise allows her to address a broad range of communication needs and adapt therapy to each individual’s unique profile.

Who Talia Works With

Talia supports toddlers, children, adolescents, and young adults, helping them develop confident and meaningful communication. Therapy is offered from a home-based clinic in Melbourne’s south-east, within school settings, and via Telehealth, providing flexible, accessible support.

Sessions are designed to help each individual flourish in communication, connection, and confidence, supporting growth across a wide range of areas, including language, speech, literacy, social communication, and more.
