Our Services
Fine and Gross Motor Skills
Strengthen your child's hand-eye coordination, dexterity, core strength, balance, and endurance through fun and engaging activities. Whether it's writing, cutting, riding a bike, playing sports, or mastering self-care activities, our tailored OT sessions will ensure your child builds the strength and confidence they need to thrive.
Sensory Processing
Explore your child’s unique sensory profile to understand how it affects their participation in daily activities at home and school. We will build an individualised toolkit of sensory strategies which can be implemented at both school and home to increase your child’s regulation and engagement.
Social Skills
Develop essential social skills for making and maintaining friendships. Key skills we explore include understanding the qualities of a good friend, resolving conflicts and repairing and rebuilding relationships after disagreements. OT sessions can use peer or sibling modelling to facilitate the exploration and development of these social skills.
Emotional Regulation
Help your child develop effective strategies to sit with, manage and recover from big emotions such as frustration, sadness and overwhelm. OT can help strengthen your child’s emotional literacy and build resilience, enabling them to more confidently navigate the big emotions we experience every day.
School Readiness
Strengthen foundational skills to start kindergarten through enjoyable and creative activities. OT targets skills such as pencil grip, scissor use, name writing, following instructions and managing transitions. OT can also explore environmental accommodations which can support your child’s individual learning style.
Daily Activities
Equip you child with essential skills to confidently and independently handle their everyday tasks. These activities can include eating, sleeping, using the toilet, looking after our personal belongings, dressing and grooming.
What you can expect
Starting your OT journey, we will begin with a comprehensive initial assessment to identify areas of support for your child. Together we will discuss goal areas and identify any challenges or sticky spots that are affecting your child’s and family’s daily life. From there, we will develop a tailored therapy plan suited to your child’s needs.
My therapeutic approach involves close collaboration with parents and caregivers to ensure that the strategies we implement are cohesive for your everyday life, benefiting everyone involved. Throughout this process, I’ll be here to provide ongoing support not just to your child, but also to your family and your child’s teachers.
I will regularly revisit our therapy goals to make sure I'm delivering the most effective support and adapting to any changes as your child continues to grow and learn.
Locations
I offer community occupational therapy (OT) services and can conduct sessions either at your home or at your child’s preschool or school. Located in the upper Blue Mountains, I’m available to assist families living and attending school in the mid to upper Blue Mountain areas.
I can work with participants of the NDIS who are either self-managed or plan managed. I can also provide support for clients who are paying privately.
If you have specific questions about how I can help your child, please feel free to contact me via email or by filling out the contact form. I’ll get back to you shortly!
