Therapeutic Approach

​

I use a developmental and relationship-based approach for therapy, through my training in Occupational Therapy, Child Centred Play Therapy and DIR Floortime I have combined the best parts of each to develop a unique way of working with children. 

​

I believe that every child is capable to succeed, they just need the time and a strong unconditional relationship with someone (as well as their parents) who believes they can.

 

With this learning, the child can then build on their skills and learn that they CAN succeed with things, and make gains in rebuilding their developmental milestones that have for whatever reason been missed along the way.

​

Within therapy sessions, I am continually addressing the needs of the child with respect to their developmental stage and individual ways of regulating while taking in the world around them, while I use a strong relationship created with the child, this process of therapy assists the child to rebuild the developmental building blocks needed to help them achieve their own goals.
