Our approach

The service uses a neuroscience-informed, transdisciplinary approach that brings together psychology and occupational therapy in a collaborative framework. Sessions draw on evidence-based interventions including play-based therapy, sensory-based interventions, neurofeedback, EMDR, and cognitive behavioural therapy tailored to each child's needs. The philosophy emphasises building strong connections with young people in a safe, welcoming, and nurturing environment, helping them develop resilience and confidence. All clinicians are passionate about using the latest neuroscience research to create strategies that support young people's well-being and help them reach their full potential.

Meet the team

The team comprises Phil Bird (Principal Psychologist/Director) and Rhiannon Pilgrim (Mental Health Occupational Therapist/Director), both with extensive experience working with children and families from complex backgrounds. Additional psychologists include Penny Undery, Grace York, Georgia Anderson, and Erin Thompson (Provisional Psychologist). Occupational therapists on the team are Ally Schmidt, Isabella Gallimore, Chloe Scott, Alison Stark, and Charlee Baus. All clinicians are registered professionals passionate about collaborative, client-centred therapy and neuroscience-informed practice, with particular expertise in trauma, anxiety, developmental delays, sensory processing, and behavioural difficulties.

Your first visit

Your initial contact involves completing a short enquiry form (taking 3–5 minutes) that helps the team understand your child's strengths, current challenges, and your goals for therapy. The form allows them to identify the most suitable clinician or service for your child's needs and prepare for a follow-up call. Once reviewed, the intake team will contact you within one business day to discuss the most appropriate pathway and available appointment options. This personalised process ensures your child connects with the right therapist before your first session.
