Juniper Tree Therapy

• What they offer / teach

  Juniper Tree Therapy is a small Yorkshire-based team of paediatric occupational therapists offering assessment, therapy, training and consultancy. Assessments (usually 2 hours at their "Juniper TreeHouse" clinic in Leeds) lead to a report with findings, recommendations and referrals, while therapy is delivered in individualised blocks of typically 6-10 sessions of 45 minutes to 1 hour, often in their Sensory Integration gym or at home, nursery, school or college. They also run coffee mornings for parents and professionals, Sensory Attachment Intervention courses for education, health and social care professionals, and bespoke team training; areas covered include functional skills (dressing, eating, toileting, toothbrushing, sleeping), emotional regulation, social interaction, academic engagement and sensory/physical skills.

• Ages served

  The page says they work with children, young people and their families or carers, and mentions support in home, nursery, school and college settings, but no specific age range is stated.

• Approach

  They offer individualised intervention packages using evidence-based approaches which might include Sensory Integration, Sensory Attachment Intervention, or a blend of therapeutic approaches. Assessment is described as a child-led process that includes fun, and therapy involves a Therapy Plan co-created with parents, baselines, a midway review to ensure the "Just Right Challenge", and an end-of-therapy parent consultation.

• Admissions

  Families make an initial enquiry via the website, email or telephone, then receive a free 30-minute consultation; if appropriate, a full Referral Form is sent. The referral is discussed at the next team meeting before they confirm if, how and when to proceed, after which families complete a Therapeutic Agreement, any risk assessments and initial questionnaires ahead of the assessment slot.
