Our approach
Flare Therapy uses a client-centred, strengths-based approach that tailors therapy to each child's individual needs and priorities. Sessions are practical and collaborative, delivered across home, school, and community settings, with a focus on everyday success and functional skills. The service takes a holistic view, considering emotional, sensory, social, and environmental factors to create meaningful therapy plans. Therapy targets areas like emotional regulation, sensory processing, handwriting, routines, independence skills, and school participation, with clear communication and practical strategies designed to help families see steady progress.
Working with families
Flare Therapy prioritises close collaboration and communication with families, schools, and support teams to ensure consistency across all environments where the child participates. Caregivers are actively involved in therapy sessions, particularly when sessions are held at home or school, and the service encourages support workers, educators, and teachers to attend when appropriate for capacity-building. Clear communication and practical strategies are provided to help families understand progress and implement support in everyday life, with the therapist liaising with relevant stakeholders and developing therapy goals collaboratively with the family's input and priorities.
Meet the team
Flare Therapy is led by Chris Armstrong, an Occupational Therapist and Managing Director who holds a Bachelor of Science in Occupational Therapy and a Bachelor of Arts in Primary Education. Chris has extensive experience working as a high-support Education Assistant, which shaped his practical, individualised approach and deepened his understanding of the everyday challenges faced by children and families. As a parent of a child with Autism and ADHD, he brings lived experience and personal insight into navigating therapy and support services. The service is described as providing personalised, neurodiversity-affirming support, though the website text does not specify additional team members beyond Chris.
Your first visit
The booking process begins when families refer online through the therapist, who will then contact them to identify an appropriate day and time for the first session. Once booked, the Occupational Therapy Services Agreement is sent via PracSuite for the client or caregiver to sign and return. For clients under 18, a caregiver aged 18 and over must be present and participate in therapy sessions when delivered in the home. The initial appointment marks the start of the therapeutic relationship and establishes the foundation for ongoing, personalised support aligned with the client's goals and funding arrangements.
