Our Services
Occupational Therapy
Occupational Therapists help kids (and adults sometimes!) “do”. They help kids to function more effectively in the things that they need to be able to do every day. This could be playing with their friends, doing their school work, participating in sports or other community groups or managing their emotions. We don’t necessarily do this by practicing that particular skill, instead we work out the “why” behind the problem. We may look at the way kids process sensory information such as sounds, smells or touch. Sometimes we look at how kids move, breathe or use their muscles. All of this influences how children learn, socialise or behave. We do this because, by analysing the way they do things, we can find where there may be a gap or a blockage which results in the undesirable outcome that you might see.
We can then help by working on the area which contributed to the problem in the first place rather than just practising a skill with the hope that it would get better.
At Sense Therapies, we use a flexible and family-focused approach to therapy.

Child & Adolescent Psychology
Child and Adolescent Psychology services focuses on supporting young people to navigate life’s challenges, build resilience, and thrive. Using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), our psychologist addresses a range of concerns, including anxiety, ADHD, behavioural challenges, emotion regulation, and more. We work closely with families, schools, and caregivers to create holistic, strengths-based strategies that meet the unique needs of each child. By fostering a safe and supportive environment, we help children and teens explore their emotions, develop coping skills, and build confidence to lead fulfilling, values-driven lives.

Our experienced Speech Pathologist is passionate about helping children find their voice and connect with the world around them.

Our approach is always child-led and family-centred, ensuring we work collaboratively to achieve meaningful communication goals in a supportive and fun environment.
Education Therapy
Discover the transformative power of self-expression and educational therapy at Sense Therapies. Our art therapy trained educator provides a unique, gentle, and supportive space where children and teens can come as they are, and be themselves. A space where they can they play an active role in their own therapy plan and achieve their goals in a way that is meaningful to them.
Educational Therapy is broad and individualised and the work Educators do can be quite varied. At Sense Therapies, we believe every child deserves to feel seen, supported, and understood just as they are. We take the time to get to know you, tailoring therapy to your child’s unique strengths, interests, and goals. Using creative-based modalities, therapy is provided in environments where your child feels most comfortable— in our clinic, at home or out in the community. We work closely with families and allied health professionals to ensure support feels connected, flexible, and holistic.
Our approach is person-centred and collaborative—designed to help your child thrive in ways that feel natural, empowering, and truly their own.
For younger children, our educator uses play-based, creative and interest-led activities to make learning and skill development fun and engaging. For older children and teens, we focus on building independence, confidence, and meaningful participation through age-appropriate and personal interest-based approaches that support growth and self-expression.
Through this flexible, child-led model, young people can deepen self-awareness, develop emotional language, build on their strengths, and expand their capabilities—growing in confidence, resilience, and key life skills.
This approach is particularly beneficial for our neurodivergent clients, offering a calm, non-judgemental environment that fosters self-esteem and embraces their natural ways of thinking, processing and expressing.
