Because Every Child
Learns Differently

Turning Learning Challenges Into Growth

Reading and Spelling

Reading and spelling therapy is a high-impact advantage for learners who are falling behind because it strengthens the core literacy skills that school success depends on—phonics, decoding, accuracy, fluency, and comprehension.

Writing and Study Methods

I support learners in developing clear and effective writing skills by teaching them how to plan, organise, and structure their ideas with confidence. Sessions also focus on practical study methods, exam preparation strategies, and time management techniques. These tools help learners approach assessments with clarity, reduce stress, and improve academic performance across subjects.

Numeracy Foundations

I help learners build strong numeracy skills by developing number sense, logical thinking, and problem-solving abilities. Through step-by-step guidance and practical methods, learners gain a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts and improve their confidence in maths. My goal is to make maths less intimidating and more achievable for every learner.

Academic Integration Therapy

Academic integration therapy strengthens a learner’s ability to process, organise, and apply information across different subjects. This approach improves cognitive skills such as sequencing, attention, working memory, and learning readiness. By developing these essential foundation skills, learners become more confident, independent, and better equipped to manage academic demands.

Vision Therapy Support

Vision therapy support helps improve the visual skills necessary for successful learning. Many learners struggle with reading and comprehension due to challenges such as poor visual tracking, difficulty focusing, or weak eye-hand coordination. Through targeted exercises and activities, these visual processing skills, are strengthened making reading easier.

Specialised Learning Support

I provide tailored support for learners with dyslexia, dysgraphia, ADD, and ADHD using evidence-based strategies that meet their unique learning needs. My sessions focus on building practical skills, improving focus and organisation, and developing learning techniques that work for each individual. With patience, structure, and the right tools, every learner can make meaningful progress.

Parent Guidance & Teacher Collaboration

I believe learning success happens through teamwork. I work closely with parents and teachers to provide practical strategies that support the learner both at home and in the classroom. Regular communication ensures continuity, while shared tools and routines help create a supportive learning environment that encourages progress and confidence.

Examination Preparation and Study Methods

This service helps learners build effective study habits and confidence for exams. Through structured planning, active learning strategies, and tailored revision techniques, students learn how to organise information, manage time, and approach tests with clarity and calm. The focus is on equipping each learner with lifelong skills for independent, efficient study and academic success.

How do I know if therapy is right for my child?

If your child is struggling to keep up in class, feels frustrated with schoolwork, or avoids reading, writing, or maths, therapy may be a helpful next step. You may notice signs like low confidence, difficulty concentrating, or needing constant help with homework. Educational therapy provides personalised support to help children overcome learning challenges and develop the skills they need to succeed. If you’re unsure, a simple screening or conversation can help guide the way forward. I’m here to help you make the best decision for your child’s learning journey.

My Space

My therapy space is designed to be calm, safe, and welcoming — a place where children feel at ease to explore, express, and engage. The environment plays an important role in every session; it’s thoughtfully set up to reduce anxiety, promote focus, and encourage openness. This space becomes their own — a supportive environment where trust grows, learning feels achievable, and confidence begins to take root.
