Therapy Services for Your Child’s Development and Independence
Craig offers targeted, evidence-based services to support your child's development, independence and confidence. Tailored to your needs, Craig can offer initial assessment[s] to inform EHCP’s, facilitate therapy sessions / programs and guide home / educational support.
Assessment is tailored to each individual and the context in which therapy involvement is required. It involves collaboration with parents, carers and educators and places the young person at the heart of everything. Observations and assessment can span one or multiple sessions and is designed to best fit the needs of the individual. Sessions are creative and fun and aim to build on existing strengths.

A short assessment can be commissioned to help shed light on an already identified or suspected area of need.
This may include the use of standardised assessment[s] and or questionnaires. A short formal report will be provided, illustrating findings along with a working hypothesis and recommendations.

Supportive observations can be commissioned via incremental hourly blocks.
This is a supportive measure often in collaboration with teachers, parents and or educators to view challenges through the lens of Occupational Therapy. It can include guidance surrounding individuals and or environmental layout, environmental sensory assessments, curriculum adaptation, group dynamics, movement / brain breaks / sensory diets for example.
A short one page report with recommendations will be offered.

Craig offers weekly half-day and full-day Occupational Therapy sessions to nurseries, schools, colleges, care settings, local authorities, and agencies. This flexible model allows his time to be used in a way that best meets the needs of your setting, rather than being limited to supporting just one individual.
Sessions can be block-booked in advance—for example, securing a regular day each week for a term, or multiple days across the week for longer periods. This approach supports forward planning and provides valuable consistency for both staff teams and the young people they support.
Please get in touch to discuss your setting’s needs in more detail.

Sessions can be block booked in advance to provide consistency and ease of planning.
Where possible, sessions are typically preceded by a period of assessment to help establish a clear focus and direction for support.
If an Occupational Therapy report is already in place with clear recommendations, Craig is happy to review these, discuss their suitability, and deliver sessions in line with the agreed guidance where appropriate.

There has been a growing demand for Craig’s support as a mentor for children and young people, extending through adolescence and into early adulthood. This service is built on developing a trusted relationship, allowing for more organic, flexible support as and when it is needed—guided collaboratively by the young person, their family or organisation, and Craig himself.
For some young people, accessing formal therapy settings can feel overwhelming, and the expectation of attending structured sessions may in itself be a barrier. This mentoring offer provides a more approachable, pastoral alternative, while still drawing on evidence-based Occupational Therapy principles to underpin areas of exploration and support.
It is particularly suited to individuals who may experience low confidence, anxiety, mobility challenges, or differences in executive functioning, although it is not limited to these areas. Mentoring sessions are tailored to the individual and can include 1:1 support to gradually build confidence in accessing public spaces, social situations, and everyday experiences—such as visiting cafés, cinemas, restaurants, swimming pools, parks, or going shopping.
Within these shared experiences, Craig gently integrates opportunities to develop self-awareness and independence, including encouraging reflection, offering validation, and exploring practical self-help strategies.
Support can also be offered more flexibly, depending on individual preference. Some young people choose to access Craig’s input remotely via WhatsApp, Teams, or phone calls as and when needed, while others combine this with occasional face-to-face meet-ups. The overall aim is to provide accessible, responsive support that helps young people feel more confident, capable, and comfortable navigating the world around them at their own pace.
