Every child’s development is unique. We shape therapy around your child’s strengths, interests, and everyday life, creating support that feels purposeful, engaging, and meaningful.
Family focused
Parents and carers play a pivotal role in a child’s development. We work closely with families, sharing practical guidance so support carries naturally into everyday moments beyond the session.
Celebrating individuality
We honour each child’s personality, strengths, and ways of engaging with the world. Therapy is guided by what motivates your child, building confidence and connection in ways that feel authentic to them.
Best practice
Our work is grounded in child development and evidence-informed occupational therapy practice. We thoughtfully draw on the latest innovative research and neuroscience and translate this to guide warm, intentional, and reflective support.
Tailored 1:1 Occupational Therapy
Our one-to-one occupational therapy sessions are designed to support children across all ages and stages of development. Sessions are play-based, purposeful, and shaped around what matters most in your child’s everyday life - from regulation and play, to independence, learning, and participation at home, school, and in the community. Each session is guided by your child’s developmental needs, interests, and readiness, creating a supportive space where they can feel safe, engaged, and confident to explore and grow.

Group Programs
Our small group programs create opportunities for children to build skills through shared play, movement, and connection. We offer term-based groups and holiday workshops, thoughtfully designed and supported by occupational therapists to nurture confidence, participation, and social engagement.
