Nancy Najm – Hakkini Clinic – Mental Health Clinics

I am a speech and language therapist with 19 years of experience working with children and families across schools, clinics, and community programs. I am passionate about helping children and families, in the way that they each need.

Besides my education and thorough training in speech and language therapy, I hold an MSc in Open Sansnational Mental Health Policy and Services, which strengthens my holistic approach to supporting children’s communication and wellbeing.

Having practiced in several countries and speaking Arabic, English, French, and conversational German, I bring a flexible, multicultural perspective to therapy and an approach that values each child’s unique strengths and family’s journey. My expertise includes early language development, speech sound difficulties, autism spectrum disorder, fluency issues, social communication challenges, learning and literacy skills and language disorders associated with hearing loss.

The services I offer are scientifically evidence-based, encompassing such approaches as Hanen’s More Than Words®, PECS®, AAC, and stuttering programs from the Michael Palin Centre. I believe therapy should feel natural and enjoyable, so I bring a playful and engaging approach that helps children stay motivated and relaxed. My aim is to create a supportive environment where children feel encouraged and families are understood, guided, empowered, and included at every step.
