The Enabling Process

I believe in a clear, supportive, and collaborative process that always puts you and your child first. Knowing what to expect can make starting therapy feel much easier, so here is a look at our journey together, step by step.

Step 1: Our First Chat ☕

Our journey begins with a free 15-minute phone or video consultation. This is a no-pressure opportunity for us to connect, discuss your concerns, and see if I am the right person to support your whānau. It's a chance for you to ask questions and get a feel for my approach.

Step 2: The Initial Consultation

If we agree to move forward, we'll schedule a 60-90 minute consultation. This dedicated time is all about your child. We'll dive deeper into their developmental history, celebrate their unique strengths, and discuss the challenges you're facing and the goals you hope to achieve.

Step 3: The Assessment

To get a clear picture of your child's skills and needs, the next step is a comprehensive assessment. This is always done in a playful, low-stress way. The results help me design a therapy plan that is perfectly tailored to your child.

Step 4: The Plan & Feedback

After the assessment, I will provide you with a straightforward written report and we'll have a feedback session. In plain language, I’ll explain my findings, what they mean for your child, and outline the proposed therapy plan—our roadmap for success.

Step 5: Therapy Begins! 🎉

This is where the fun and progress truly happen! Therapy sessions are always individualised and can take place at home, school, in the community, or at my clinic—wherever is best for your child. Together, we'll work on the specific goals that will enable your child to shine.
