"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."

"Joy has been a great addition to our multi-disciplinary team. Her knowledge and expertise have been truly valued. She has upskilled staff and empowered them to be able to deliver high quality interventions for our pupils. We look forward to working with her again this academic year!"

Emma Day, Lead Teacher in Rainbow Base, Richmond Hill Academy, September 2022

"After completing the first cycle of therapy we, and school, noticed a real difference in W’s concentration and emotional management. He has engaged more in group exercises at school and had far less transition meltdowns. Joy’s sessions have been wonderful to observe and so helpful in understanding how different exercises can support W in the areas that he struggles. We are looking forward to arranging training for his school and having his 1:1’s trained in how to implement his sensory diet into his school day, and how this will further support his development."

Parent, August 2022

"Emma is excellent, she is so knowledgeable in what she does and she has a very easy way of explaining quite a complex subject to people who have no experience in occupational therapy. All who attended the training where highly complementary of Emma, and look forward to further trainings. We all feel that we understand Sensory Attachment Intervention a little better and how important this intervention is with our children in care and foster carers"

Sarah Page, Senior Social Work Practitioner, Dublin Ireland  

“I found it a really interesting session, given that sensory integration is a really broad topic I feel Emma covered a lot in a really concise way. It was great that the session was interactive. Involving students in different activities really helped with insight into proprioception and vestibular processes and difficulties and how these impact on functional activities of daily living.”

MSc Occupational Therapy Final Year Student, Leeds Beckett University

"Fantastic experience - Emma has been very approachable ever since our first meeting.  Her professionalism, as well as knowledge and its application to what our sons needs has been excellent.  Sensory processing issues and sensory integration is complex but Emma has a brilliant way of getting this across in a way that is clear and understandable."

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.”

Autism, Food & Regulation (One Day Bespoke Course)

“The training was really informative and presented in away which was highly engaging. It was information packed with lots of practical examples. I feel I have a better understanding of how sensory processing difficulties can impact on mealtimes and the types of strategies/ approaches that might be considered.

“As a speech and language therapist working with individuals with complex needs, it is difficult to find highly trained specialists in the area of sensory integration – we’ve definitely found that in Juniper Tree Therapy. It has been wonderful to work together with the joint aim of empowering staff to build communication into OT activities and vice versa. The difference to children’s access to activities, learning and interaction speaks for itself and we continue to learn so much from Emma and Nick.”

Sensory Attachment Intervention

“Most importantly the children have all had positive experiences of working with Nick and Emma and have been open to the intervention despite generally carrying huge mistrust of adults. Foster carers and residential staff have all spoken positively of their engagement with the service and found the intervention of immense benefit to both the adults and children. I would highly recommend Juniper Tree Therapy for its comprehensive understanding of trauma, attachment and occupational therapy needs of children in care.”

Sensory Patterns and Stress Regulation Workshop Day

“I can’t even express how helpful I found the whole day. I’ve attended many great trainings over the years as a Foster Carer and ELC practitioner, but this training was the most powerful. I’ve come away with so many ideas to help our wee boy, to help myself and the rest of our family”

Adoptive Parent And Foster Carer, attended workshop in Edinburgh

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”
