Word Wise Speech and Language Therapy
Communicate with Confidence
Kia ora, welcome! My name is Kristen Hammond and I am the certified Speech-Language Therapist behind Word Wise Therapy.
My ultimate goal is to help people become effective communicators in their everyday environments. I can offer services wherever you or your child are most comfortable, such as at home, online (through web-based teletherapy) or in your child's education centre. I strive to make each session fun and effective.

"Kristen brings a calm, professional approach to her work with children. She works within the classroom in an unobtrusive way. The children enjoy working with her and make great progress. The activities Kristen provides are fun and are clearly explained, so that staff can continue working with the children in her absence."

"Kristen built a warm and fun rapport with my 10 year old son - he genuinely looked forward to their sessions and was disappointed when the course of therapy was complete! My son’s pronunciation has vastly improved. Kristen has also taught him to recognise and self-correct when he needs to. The boost to his confidence has been really special to see - Kristen was exactly the support he needed."
