I’m an experienced OT having worked privately in many schools across the county and, more recently, in the under 18s mental health crisis team in the NHS. I’m passionate about bringing the skills I’ve developed over the years into my private practice, to enable me to help more young people and families who are feeling stuck. I work with young people who have needs related to autism, trauma, emotional, sensory or mental health.
How we might work together
Assessment
At the start of Occupational Therapy, we will complete an assessment, for us to get a good overview of what’s going on for you. We will look at your strengths and difficulties, as part of what makes me , me, and help you to think about your goals and needs.
We will work on identifying the changes that need to be made and the barriers to overcome them, and discuss and agree a treatment plan, that meets your needs. During therapy you will develop your own personal toolkit of strategies and techniques of what helps you to feel more confident and capable in life.
To get the most out of sessions it is important that there is continuity in treatment so we find that weekly or fortnightly work best.
Therapy sessions
Whilst its important the young person feels that they can have a safe place to talk away from parents sometimes , we also know that parents and carers can be a valuable part of their treatment and support network.
A normal therapy session will last for an hour , with the majority of this dedicated to working directly with the young person to address their difficulties . As appropriate we can build in time for discussion and feedback to parents and carers, to think about how they can support their child outside of sessions .
Over the years of working with parents ,I also recognise that parents and carers benefit from support themselves. As part of your child’s treatment I offer 2 consultation sessions with you to offer support and guidance. I can also give you access to my audio resources that provides helpful advice for managing and coping with common challenges.
Consultation Assessment £195
If the young person is 12 or over, and would be able to be the main person I gather information from, and no report is needed, this may be appropriate.
I would be able to get an overview of their needs and goals, and feedback to them and the referrer in a method of their choosing for recommended next steps.
Comprehensive initial assessment £550
For any age roughly 7+, assessment will include consultations with the young person, family/carers and other professionals where appropriate.
It may include an observation in the home or education environment. The referrer will get a full initial assessment report with advice, recommendations and signposting.
Enhanced assessment for EHCP plans £695
Comprehensive initial assessment with additional focus on needs and provision to inform an Education Health and Care Needs Assessment ( EHCP).
