Hi, I'm Hanna
I am a registered occupational therapist with over 16 years occupational therapy experience. I have postgraduate training in sensory integration and I specialise in working with children and young people with autism, ADHD and sensory processing difficulties.
I am a mum of two children, one is autistic and attends a special school and one was out of school for over a year due to burnout but has managed to go back.
I combine my professional knowledge and expertise with the compassion and understanding that comes from being a parent of children with additional needs.
If you need help to understand exactly what is going on for your child and what you can do to support them at home and at school, then you've come to the right place.

"I cannot speak highly enough of Hanna and the services she offers. Before I met Hanna I felt like no one understood my son and his needs. The assessments Hanna completed gave me a much greater understanding of my son, it has helped me source him help and support. Hanna’s therapy sessions have been greatly beneficial to my son, they has been great improvements in lots of aspects. Hanna is caring, calm, knowledgeable, professional and she has been brilliant my son. I would not hesitate to recommend Hanna. I can not thank her enough for all of her efforts."
Parent
"Hanna is amazing! After visiting Hanna we learned so much about our daughter that we weren't even aware of. Hanna's sensory space is out of this world. Our little girl struggles to communicate but Hanna was patient with her, made her feel at ease, was calming but also made her assessment lots of fun. Hanna is very knowledgeable and we cannot thank her enough, our daughter would not be getting the correct support if it wasn't for Hanna's advice. We will always recommend Hanna and the services that she offers. We look forward to Hanna working with our daughter in the future."
Parent
"Our experience with Hanna has been wonderful from start to finish. She is very professional and knowledgable, whilst being kind, empathetic and approachable. Thank you for all for care and expertise, it has made a massive difference to our family. We couldn't have asked for better, with the way you approached our son, and it is evident you want the best for every child you meet. The assessment and feedback is wonderful, and is hopefully the beginning of a more supportive education for our son.
Thank you again."
Parent
"Excellent help and support from Hanna for my son at a very difficult point, she has helped myself as a parent but also the school he attends to put additional support in place. I now understand the issues and difficulties he faces on a day to day basis and the things we can put in place to make things easier. Hanna was very friendly and supportive and my son felt very relaxed and comfortable straight away; normally he struggles with meeting new people.
Highly recommended. Thank you."
Parent
"Highly recommended, Hanna recently carried out a very thorough assessment on our grandson. The family were listened to, she has such a calming manner and used various ways to communicate with our grandson that put him at ease and he participated willingly and loved the activities. Several area of sensory need were found during these assessments that the doctors missed. Strategies and activities recommended have already started to show an improvement in behaviour. This lady is professional, caring with a wealth of knowledge and she communicates exceptionally well with all involved. Thank you, we really appreciate what you’ve done. Also learned lots from the Facebook live sensory activities session and would recommend these to anyone not just to those with children with sensory needs."
