Therapies Offered
Occupational Therapy
In occupational therapy, we refer to ‘occupations’ as the activities clients find meaningful and want to do as well as everyday tasks that are involved in taking care of oneself and others. Roles, as the identities one engages within and tasks the small steps of these greater identities.
As occupational therapists, we work with our clients to identify the skills and strengths they have, whilst empowering them to develop and build on these skills to minimise the challenges that they face in their day to day lives.
We are holistic in our assessment and intervention. With your permission we enjoy working with all the important people in your life. This includes not only your family, friends and/or support persons but collaborating with your other service providers in a multidisciplinary team as well.

Trauma Informed Practices
Trauma is the result of horrific experiences a person has faced. Often these experiences have not been voiced, heard or listened to which creates poor self-esteem, difficulty with knowing a person’s identity and so many other challenges. We do not believe people need to be “fixed” rather people need support to build compassionate for themselves, understand how trauma impacts them, create a positive experience of self, build advocacy skills and create connection to yourself, people around you and the local community.
Working with shame is a big part of this journey. We support you to understand how the effects of abuse and violence have impacted on you, this does not include digging up all of the experiences you have had and retraumatising you. We work in a gentle but supported way of holding space to ensure re-traumatisation does not occur. Further we understand that trauma is held in the body (Bessel van der Kolk, the Body Keeps the Score) and consequently talk therapies alone will not support you to move around and in front of your trauma. Tannille completed the Trauma Research Foundation’s Certificate Program in Traumatic Stress Studies in 2024. Tannille also utilised sensory system and somatic practices (body work).
Ayres Sensory Integration Assessment and Therapy
Sensory perception includes awareness and interpretation of sensation. Basic sensory perception involves the ability to discriminate one aspect of sensory stimuli from others, for example smooth or bumpy tactile sensation, music versus conversation auditory sensation, vanilla versus vinegar olfactory sensation, etc.
Sensory perception becomes enhanced and expanded as cognitive, language, and social-emotional elements combine with sensory experiences (e.g. knowing what is happening and having feelings about an experience triggered by sensations such as the smell of a holiday dinner or sights and sounds associated with a specific time of year. Most learning occurs through “multi” sensory integration, or “multimodal integration” which involves information from different sensory modalities, being processed and integrated by the nervous systems to maximise meaning.
Sensory perception is a critical foundation for learning and skill acquisition. Inefficient or poor sensory perception can lead to many difficulties in daily life and interfere with all aspects of participation and occupation.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) applies mindfulness skills with the practice of self-acceptance to client’s responses to uncontrollable experiences and stems from traditional behaviour therapy and Cognitive BehaviouralTherapy (CBT).
In ACT, there are 6 core processes that guide and provide the framework for therapy. They are acceptance; cognitive defusion; being present; self as context; values and committed action.
You can read more about ACT HERE.
Narrative Therapy
Narrative Therapy aims to separate the individual from the problem and empowers clients to view themselves as the experts in their own lives. Narrative Therapy encourages clients to explore and reshape their life stories.

Circle of Security (CoS)
The Circle of Security is a visual map of attachment. It is used in parent education and intervention programs to help caregivers better understand and meet children's attachment needs. It depicts the interplay between a child's need for exploration (going out) and their need for comfort and safety (coming in), with the caregiver acting as both a Secure Base and a Safe Haven.
