Speech Pathology and Cognitive Disorders: Reclaiming Your Communication

At the Healthy Brain and Memory Centre, we understand that your communication is so much more than words. It’s how you share your story, connect with the people you love, and express who you are. When progressive disease makes communication a struggle, it can feel like losing a part of yourself. But you don’t have to face this alone.

Meet Lucy Murphy, Certified Speech Pathologist and founder of Connect the Words. A recognised leader in her field, Lucy specialises in understanding how cognitive disorders affect language—and in helping individuals overcome these challenges with dignity and confidence.

With over 16 years of experience in community health, hospitals, and specialist brain injury units across QLD and NSW Health, Lucy brings unparalleled expertise and genuine compassion to her work. She is dedicated to empowering patients to reclaim their voices, maintain meaningful connections, and navigate the challenges of cognitive impairment with resilience.

Lucy’s approach goes beyond words. She works closely with patients and their families to create tailored, practical strategies that fit their unique needs. Whether it’s building confidence for everyday conversations or finding ways to simplify communication, Lucy ensures every individual feels supported on their journey. Her ultimate goal is simple yet profound: to make sure cognitive impairment never overshadows your ability to be heard.

At the Healthy Brain and Memory Centre, we are proud to have partnered with Lucy. Together, we are here to ensure your communication continues to reflect who you are and your life story—because your story deserves to be shared.

Lucy is an independent practitioner who operates her own business out of The Healthy Brain and Memory Centre
