Preschool / School Therapy
We prioritise collaborative partnerships with our clients’ educators, teachers, and schools as a key factor in sustained success. This collaboration entails on-site observations during school hours, constructive discussions, and the practical application of strategies within the classroom or playground setting. We also work in tandem with teachers and educators, integrating therapy seamlessly within the school schedule when suitable. Please note, this is contingent upon availability and clinician recommendations aligning with goal achievement.

Life Skills for Teenagers and Young Adults
As children and individuals progress through life, the spectrum of skills they engage with grows immensely. From understanding and expressing emotions to cultivating motivation in personal pursuits, honing organisational skills, connecting tasks in sequences, and expanding attention spans – the journey of development is rich and varied. Moreover, essential life skills take precedence, including financial literacy, culinary proficiency, household management, and navigating the community. Each phase introduces new responsibilities, and our mission is to empower individuals on this journey, enabling them to flourish in every facet of their evolving lives.
As occupational therapists, our mission involves crafting personalised therapy techniques tailored to foster the development of these crucial life skills. We achieve this by:
- Conducting personalised one-on-one intervention sessions in the comfort of your home, community, or preferred location to effectively nurture these skills.
- Designing Individual Skill Development Plans that serve as roadmaps to attain desired outcomes for yourself, family members, or other healthcare providers to follow as required.
Parent Coaching
Have you ever received a health professional’s report and found it difficult to understand its meaning? Are you uncertain about the next steps it implies?

It begins right after your assessment with us, where we equip you with foundational knowledge. Our goal is to ensure you feel informed, empowered, and ready to take the best steps forward in aiding your child’s journey towards achieving their goals.

We’re driven to continuously share our vast toolkit of strategies, knowledge, and information with you every step of the way, ensuring your active involvement in supporting your child, teenager and/or young adult daily. We firmly believe that you are the ultimate expert on your child or teenager, understanding them in ways no one else can.
