Butterflies Holistic Occupational Therapy

• What they offer / teach

  Butterflies provides 1:1 occupational therapy assessment and intervention for children with a wide range of challenges, joint Speech and Language Therapy/OT assessments, and group interventions such as a school readiness group. They also offer sensory integration therapy in a dedicated studio and multi-sensory room, DCD (dyspraxia) and handwriting assessments, mindfulness for children, adult OT ('Rediscover Yourself') and yoga sessions, plus in-school services including sensory exploration sessions, sensory processing assessment, classroom observation and support around praxis, emotional regulation and mental health. Additional services include 'Cocoon and Evolve' specialist training for schools, charities, care homes and businesses, clinical supervision (including for university students and local authority OTs), family/carer support, and room hire.

• Ages served

  The site describes work with children and young people (including developing an approach for pre-5 children) as well as adults, and says sensory groups in the multi-sensory room will be run for all ages; no specific age range is stated.

• Approach

  They describe themselves as a trauma-informed and neuro-affirming practice that creates environments promoting safety, trust and empowerment, and takes a strengths- and rights-based approach that affirms a child's neurodivergent identity rather than trying to 'fix' or 'cure' their neurotype. The service is presented as holistic, bespoke, personalised, non-judgemental, flexible and transparent, blending standardised assessment tools with environmental assessment and classroom observation.

• Admissions

  Families and individuals are invited to contact the team by phone, email or the website enquiry form to discuss concerns, and schools/organisations can request a free 15-minute consultation about training. The site notes referrals come to the practice and that it offers a considerably faster alternative for those who do not want to wait for NHS assessment or intervention; no formal admissions process is described.

• Cost

  The site has an 'Assessment and Fees' page but no fee amounts are given in this text, other than the adult 'Unfrazzle and RESET' monthly yoga workshop at £12 per 1-hour session including all equipment. It also mentions self-funded clients and a free 15-minute consultation for training enquiries.
