You might be here because…

• Your child has frequent meltdowns or becomes overwhelmed easily
• Mornings, bedtimes or daily routines feel like a struggle
• School is becoming increasingly difficult
• You feel something is different, but you’re not sure what
• You’ve tried strategies, but nothing seems to stick

Understanding your child

We take a neurodivergent-affirming, individualised approach. Rather than focusing on behaviour alone, we work to understand the underlying reasons for your child’s difficulties, including differences in regulation, sensory processing, development, and everyday demands. This helps us identify practical, meaningful strategies that support your child in daily life.

Ways to work with me

Every child is different, and it’s not always clear what level of support is needed at the start.

Start with a consultation

A focused initial session to understand your child’s needs and give you practical next steps.

Targeted support

Structured, goal-focused sessions for specific areas such as emotional regulation, routines, sensory needs, and school-related challenges.

Full assessment

What to expect from a consultation

  • Understand your child’s strengths and current challenges

  • Begin to build an initial clinical formulation

  • Receive practical strategies to try straight away

  • Gain clear recommendations about next steps

    A consultation is often the best place to start if you are feeling unsure, overwhelmed, or not yet ready for a full assessment.

Not sure where to start?

If you’re unsure whether this is the right next step, you can book a short initial enquiry call to talk things through.

This is a one-off call to understand your concerns and help you decide what would be most helpful.

What families say

  • “As a parent (and also a fellow allied health professional), I would say that she really knows her stuff! Her kind nature and affirming approach to neurodivergence has ensured a positive relationship with my child which has been hugely beneficial to our assessment and therapy journey. He has been really enjoying his sessions and Kirsteen knows just how to get the best out of him. Before we started our sessions, I knew that OT would be beneficial but I don’t think I realised quite how much. I highly recommend that all ND families have a chat with Kirsteen to see how she can help.”

  • “…we loved OT with Alice and would love to continue coming, … it's been a great experience and I'm happy with the report Alice did and I'm sure it will help us, I will certainly be following all her recommendations and sharing them with school also.”

    Joanne

  • Cannot fault my experience of ActivateOT Ltd in any way. Kirsteen has been so supportive throughout my assessment and beyond. She has a wealth of knowledge around neurodivergence and how our different way of thinking and perceiving the world can impact so much on our lives. I cannot thank Kirsteen enough for all the support she provided as well as the continuing information and advice via the ActivateOT Facebook page 😊
