Services and Delivery

We are a small, close knit team of 2 occupational therapists, with an aim to have a limited number of clients to whom we can give 150%! We pride ourselves on being thorough, reliable, dedicated and consistent.  We make a commitment to tailor every child’s therapy sessions to their individual needs, and hope to give you lots of ideas about how to continue your child’s development outside of sessions – often you’ll have lots of tools under your own roof!

We want your child to find Occupational Therapy a positive experience, and therefore sessions are play based, consistent, structured and most of all FUN!! We’re always on the look-out for new games, activities and therapeutic activities, and encourage children to have some choice and control within sessions to ensure that they are motivated to participate in OT.We really value transparent communication and encourage parents to approach us with any questions or concerns they may have about their child’s therapy… We also want your time with OTeam to be a positive experience for the adults! Remember – if we don’t know there’s a problem, we can’t work with you to fix it.

Finally, although Health Professionals like OTs have expertise in lots of areas, YOU are the expert on your child. We do not promise to have all the answers, but hope that we can work in partnership to find them together. Core to all Occupational Therapy is client-centred and family centred practice.We are committed to keeping my practice up to date and attending regular professional development opportunities to give me fresh ideas and perspectives.

OTeam has a pre-school and primary school focus. We specialise in working with children 0-12 years. We differ from traditional therapy by working with a child in their natural environments, which offers families a flexible and accessible service as well as being able to forge links with key caregivers in the child’s life. The name ‘OTeam’ reflects the core philosophies of my practice:
