Occupational therapy is an allied health profession often recommended by a GP or other health professional when your child is experiencing difficulty in their daily life with tasks such as mealtimes, getting dressed, routines, toileting etc. Basically anything you need to do, have to do, or want to do, is an occupation - so we are very diverse! Most OT's who work with children support sensory processing needs and self regulation, building independence, and learning through play.

Occupational therapists are trained with a holistic view of the child in mind, so are a very beneficial profession to get in touch with if you have a wide array of concerns for your child. We also understand daily occupations better than any other professional and can see where therapy from other professionals can be more routinely enhanced throughout the day.

I support neurodivergent children and families. I don't exclusively support children, as I thoroughly enjoy building the skills of the parent as well. I also support neurodivergent teens and adults looking to improve their daily life through practical and neuroaffirming goals and strategies to suit their unique needs.

This can definitely be more of a mutual feeling if this is working well. I will identify that I am a major advocate for neuroaffirming practice, and value a collaborative working approach.

I understand I will not be the right fit for everyone and that is okay by me.

If you are a neurodivergent adult wanting to get evidence based support through a coaching model, I may be a good fit for you If you are a professional wanting to better understand neuroaffirming practice and trauma informed care from a lived experience lens, I may be a good fit for you If you are a neurodivergent occupational therapist I can offer external clinical supervision which may be a good fit for you.
