Hi I'm Rosie I'm a passionate occupational therapist specialising in sensory integration.
My work is rooted in helping children and families understand and respond to sensory processing needs with care, compassion, and evidence-based strategies.
I have extensive experience supporting children and adults who have experienced early adversity, and I work with a trauma-informed approach that prioritises safety, connection, and understanding.

“Medicine adds days to life, but occupational therapy adds life to days.”
What is Occupational Therapy?
Occupational therapy helps individuals take part in the everyday activities that bring meaning, purpose, and joy to life. For children, this might include playing, moving, learning, building friendships, or managing daily routines. Using purposeful activities as therapeutic tools, I support children to develop key skills and overcome challenges whether through restorative approaches to build new abilities or compensatory strategies to support participation in a different way.
At the heart of occupational therapy is collaboration and goal setting, working with children and families to identify what really matters to them, and taking practical, supportive steps toward achieving it.
As the saying goes:
“Medicine adds days to life, but occupational therapy adds life to days.”
What is Sensory Integration?
Sensory integration is how our brains process and respond to information from our eight senses - including touch, movement, sound, sight, smell, taste and body awareness (internally and externally). When this process is disrupted, it can impact a child’s participation in everyday tasks, their emotional regulation, and their relationships.
I use sensory integration therapy to support children in understanding and managing these experiences - through playful, hands-on therapy that meets them where they are.
The Approach
I believe in looking beyond behaviour to truly understand what a child’s sensory system is telling us. My mantra that I often tell families I am working with is: "the body knows what the brain needs." from the amazing book ‘The Body Keeps the Score’ written by Bessel Van Der Kolk. By using this approach, and ensuring my practice falls within fidelity, all sessions are child led, play focused, with practical hands on support.

Our Values
Compassion
We listen without judgment. We honour your experiences and gently support change at a pace that feels right for you. Seeing the whole child, working with their strengths and not just focussing on the area of difficulty. Building person-centred plans that support emotional, physical, and sensory wellbeing.
Creativity
We think outside the box — using play, movement, and hands-on activities tailored to your child’s unique needs. From obstacle courses to sensory games, sessions are designed to be fun, meaningful, and targeted at building motor skills, sensory tolerance, and emotional regulation.
Integrity
We do what’s right, not just what’s easy. We’re evidence-based, honest, and transparent in all that we offer.
Authenticity
We show up as real people - grounded, open, and human. We create safe spaces where children and families can be themselves. Helping families and professionals recognise how sensory processing affects daily life.
Belief
We believe in every child’s potential and every family’s strength. Even when things feel hard, we hold hope and walk alongside you. Working with those around the child to create sensory-informed environments.
Trust
Relationships are central. We build trust with both the child and the adults around them, because healing and growth happen in connection.
Working alongside the family in order to promote opportunities of shared joy, which will aim to facilitate strategies of co-regulation and attunement.
These values guide everything we do at Best Start Therapy. Helping children begin, or begin again, with the best start.

The Best Start Therapy Space
Therapy takes place in a cosy wooden cabin in the garden. It is quiet, private, and designed to feel relaxed and child-friendly. Many young people find the space helps them feel more at ease from the very first session.
