Our approach

At Glimmer, therapy is built on a relationship-based philosophy that prioritises connection and calm. Drawing from Polyvagal Theory and Ayres Sensory Integration, sessions focus on identifying "glimmers"—small moments of joy and safety—to help children regulate their nervous system and feel supported. The approach is neuroaffirming and trauma-informed, recognising each child's unique needs and strengths. Sessions take place in a safe and nurturing space at the fully equipped clinic, designed to help children develop the skills they need for meaningful activities like learning, playing and socialising. The occupational therapist works collaboratively with children and their trusted adults to explore new ways of learning and help develop their brain through play and practical activities.

Working with families

Family involvement is central to Glimmer's approach, with a strong focus on building and nurturing connections between children and their trusted adults. The service offers dedicated parent coaching sessions (available via telehealth or in-clinic) to support and educate parents in helping their child. Additionally, the occupational therapist communicates and collaborates with educators, teachers and other health professionals through school or preschool visits and case conferences. This ensures a coordinated, consistent approach across home and educational settings to help your child learn and develop.

Your first visit

An initial appointment is a 60-minute in-clinic occupational therapy assessment (including 45 minutes of direct session time plus 15 minutes for documentation and planning). During this time, the occupational therapist gathers information about your child and family to understand their needs, strengths and meaningful activities. The assessment is the first step in developing a personalised plan to support your child's development across areas like fine and gross motor skills, sensory processing, emotional regulation, play and social skills. The therapist uses a relationship-based and neuroaffirming approach to make your child feel safe and understood from the start.
