Common areas include handwriting and fine-motor skills, sensory sensitivities, daily routines (dressing, eating, sleep), coordination, and self-regulation.

Do we need a referral?

How is OT different from physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy focuses on gross-motor movement and physical function; OT focuses on participation in everyday tasks, including fine-motor, sensory, and self-care skills.

What Sigma helps with

Child & Adolescent Counselling

Safe, compassionate, and supportive environment to help young people navigate emotional difficulties and develop healthy coping strategies.

ADHD Assessments

A structured evaluation by a psychologist or psychiatrist to determine whether ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is present. It typically includes questionnaires, clinical interviews, rating scales and sometimes cognitive testing, and results in recommendations for support and treatment.

Paediatric Occupational Therapy

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.

Sensory Assessments & Interventions

Occupational Therapy support to help manage difficulties with sensory processing and develop tailored interventions for sensory challenges.

Functional Behaviour Assessments (FBA)

Assessment to gain insights into factors contributing to behaviour of concern and guide recommended strategies.

Our approach

Sigma Therapies takes a collaborative, person-centred, and strength-based approach to therapy. Psychologists, Occupational Therapists, and Behaviour Support Practitioners work together to deliver a holistic approach that addresses mental health, daily living skills, behaviour support, and emotional wellbeing together. Sessions are tailored to each client's unique goals, strengths, and preferences, with therapists guiding clients on their journey to wellness rather than taking over the process. The team emphasises meaningful outcomes over services, focusing on creating practical, long-term improvements in daily life and independence. Therapy can take place in-clinic, at home, in school, in the community, or via telehealth Australia-wide.

Working with families

Collaboration with families and carers is central to the approach. Therapists work closely with families, carers, support coordinators, and teachers to ensure therapy is well-integrated and progress is maximised. The team believes that support works best when everyone is on the same page and is committed to seamless teamwork. Parents and carers are encouraged to contact the team with any questions before booking a session, and the friendly team is available Monday to Friday during office hours to discuss service fit and the best next steps.
