We consider each client we work with as an individual; some may have a diagnosis of a particular condition, others may not. We are experienced working with clients with diagnoses including;

  • Sensory Processing Disorder or Difficulties
  • Emotional Regulation Difficulties
  • Attachment Difficulties
  • Developmental Trauma, including medical and relational
  • Autism Spectrum Disorder
  • Cerebral Palsy
  • Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

  • Chromosomal or Genetic Conditions
  • Learning Difficulties

We have a range of approaches which may meet the needs of your child, and we work alongside other Professionals in a holistic way. Approaches that we use may include Sensory Integration, Sensory Attachment Intervention, or other approaches. This will be discussed between yourself and the Occupational Therapist. You can read more about these on our website.

Our Approach

Occupational Therapy

We help to enable children and families to meaningfully engage in their everyday lives – “helping people to live not exist” (RCOT)

Sensory Integration Therapy

We consider how each person’s individual sensory processing impacts upon their daily occupations, and how we can help to support this.

Sensory Attachment Intervention

Sensory Attachment Intervention (SAI) is an integrative and holistic approach to the treatment of relational, medical or social trauma.

Therapeutic Services

Assessment

Assessment may include direct or indirect methods, and may be completed holistically, or to inform existing assessment or therapeutic work.

Treatment & Intervention

Treatment and intervention may be delivered within the home, school, or other setting as appropriate.

Consultation & Supervision

We provide in-reach consultation and supervision services to teams, or additionally can work on an individual basis.

What people have to say about us

"Kat did an assessment on our granddaughter and as a family we were extremely impressed. The report was very informative and in depth. After reading, we were also talked through it by Kat, making our understanding even greater and advising us on how to proceed forward. We cannot thank or recommend Kat and the team enough. They are amazing."

Sensory Integration & Neurology Foundations (Two Day Bespoke Workshop)

“The workshop has given me a greater understanding of some of the issues that may affect our clients, particularly highlighting the issues of potential attachment problems and trauma.”

Sensory Patterns and Stress Regulation Workshop Day

“This was one of the most informative and applicable workshops that I have EVER attended. I left at the end of the day with a range of strategies, underpinned by a dose of neuroscience, that I could immediately introduce into my family environment. I also felt it incredibly beneficial to be amongst fellow adopters as it felt safe to explore some personal challenges, without fear of judgement”
