What Lumos helps with

A therapy that helps children and adults develop the everyday skills needed for daily life — from dressing, writing and play to sensory processing and school participation. Occupational therapists assess what is getting in the way and design practical strategies to build independence and confidence.

Speech Therapy

Assessment and treatment of communication difficulties including speech sounds, language development, stuttering, voice, and feeding and swallowing. Speech pathologists work with children and adults to help them communicate clearly and confidently.

Psychology

Assessment and therapy provided by a registered psychologist to support mental health, emotional wellbeing and behaviour. Psychologists work across the lifespan — helping children, adolescents and adults understand and manage challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma and learning differences.

Counselling

A talking-based support that helps people work through emotional difficulties, relationship challenges, grief, stress or mental health concerns. A counsellor listens without judgement and helps you develop coping strategies and a clearer sense of direction.

Play Therapy

A therapeutic approach where children express and process emotions, experiences and difficulties through play — their natural language. A play therapist creates a safe space where the child leads and works through challenges at their own pace.

Dance Movement Therapy

Using movement and dance to support emotional, cognitive, physical, and social integration through creative expression and therapeutic movement.

Weekly Therapy Groups

Fun and engaging group therapy sessions for children of all ages and abilities, fostering social skills and peer interaction in a fully equipped sensory gym.

Assessments

A thorough evaluation by a psychologist using standardised tests, interviews and observation to understand a person's cognitive, emotional and behavioural functioning. Results inform diagnosis and guide recommendations for therapy, school adjustments and support services.

Teacher & Organisational Training / Consultancy

Tailored training and consultancy for educators and organisations, offering evidence-based strategies to create supportive, inclusive environments.

Our approach

Therapy sessions use play-based and evidence-informed approaches tailored to each child's unique needs and interests. Therapists work collaboratively with families to support growth across areas like motor coordination, sensory processing, self-care skills, and social-emotional development. The team focuses on building everyday skills and confidence in a fun and engaging manner. Sessions are designed to help children overcome developmental challenges and develop the abilities they need to participate fully in daily activities at home, school, and in the community.

Working with families

Therapy uses a family-centred approach, with therapists working collaboratively alongside families to support each child's development. The team communicates with families about treatment progress and coordinates care with other healthcare providers (with consent). Support extends across home, school, and community settings to ensure skills are built and reinforced in the environments where your child spends time. Families are encouraged to be active partners in the therapeutic process.
