Our approach

The occupational therapy approach at Playfit Therapy combines movement, play, and functional skill development to support children in everyday life. Sessions use play-based therapy to help children explore their interests, develop independence, and grow in confidence. The team tailors each intervention to meet the unique needs of the individual, supporting development across sensory, motor, cognitive and social-emotional domains. Therapists are compassionate and experienced in working with children from infancy through to adolescence, focusing on helping children build the skills they need to participate in everyday activities and reach their full potential.

Working with families

The practice is committed to a family-centred approach, recognising that the active involvement of caregivers and family members is key to creating a supportive and nurturing environment. The team values collaborative relationships and actively seeks feedback from both clients and caregivers, ensuring therapy remains responsive, engaging, and aligned with each family's goals. Parents and carers are encouraged to contact the practice to discuss funding options and learn more about services.
