Nature-based Occupational Therapy
Wellbeing Orchard offers nature-based Occupational Therapy. There are endless possibilities for skill development that can be transferred to the learning environment of preschool or school whilst nurturing the child and young person’s regulation and feelings of self-worth.
Nature as a therapy, takes a holistic approach to support:
✓ Social
✓ Emotional
✓ Developmental
✓ Physical
✓ Sensory
Nature provides more opportunities for exploration than clinic-based therapy. Research shows just spending time in nature improves recall and reduces stress. Nature gives us a great space and endless opportunities to explore.
Outdoor experiences are essential for childhood development, yet they are disappearing from our schools and our homes. Within nature, we can create a foundation for learning through the introduction and practice of skills whilst having a positive effect on stress, attention and confidence.
- Is your child reliant on screens?
- Has difficulty paying attention?
- Has difficulty coping with sensory experiences?
- Finds it hard to make friendships?
- Struggles with skills expected at school?
I encourage parent / carer involvement to ensure the best outcome for your child. This means that therapy ideas and techniques taught are more easily repeated back at home. It also helps parent / carer realise the key role they play in achieving a positive outcome.

The Assessment Stage helps me to understand the underlying factors that affect the challenges your child may experience. By identifying goals, we can focus intervention to make positive changes for your child and family. My chosen way of working is nature-based therapy combining evidence-based practice with the calming effect of nature.
