Catherin Sahayam

Speech and Language Pathologist

Introduction 

I’m a licensed Speech and Language Pathologist with over a decade of experience in assessing and treating a wide range of communication disorders. Since 2014, I have worked across diverse clinical settings in the UAE and India, including hospitals, early intervention centers, and multidisciplinary therapy clinics. My practice is deeply rooted in evidence-based care, with a strong focus on ethical standards and a compassionate, client-centered approach. 

Therapeutic Approach 

I have extensive experience supporting children with a variety of speech, language, and communication challenges. My current area of interest is pediatric intervention. My goal is to provide individualized, evidence-based therapy tailored to each child’s unique needs within a supportive and collaborative environment. 

Client Experience 

I work closely with families to create a supportive environment where children feel confident to communicate. After thorough assessments, I develop personalized therapy plans and regularly monitor progress to ensure effective outcomes. I also provide guidance to parents and caregivers, empowering them to support their child’s development at home. Working collaboratively with a multidisciplinary team, I strive to deliver holistic care that enhances your child’s communication skills and overall quality of life, involving your family throughout the process. 

Personal Interests 

Outside of my clinical work, I enjoy curling up with a good book, practicing yoga, and exploring new foods—activities that help me stay balanced, focused, and energized in my practice.
