What is Occupational Therapy?
Occupational therapy is all about helping people do the everyday things that matter most to them. For children, this includes things like playing, learning, exploring, connecting with others, and taking care of themselves.
Paediatric occupational therapy supports children to build the skills they need to grow, explore, and thrive. At Believe and Achieve Paediatric Therapy, we work closely with children and the families who care for them, taking time to understand each child’s strengths, needs, and goals.
The therapy we provide is play-based, neurodiversity-affirming, child-led, and tailored to what’s most meaningful for each family. Whether it’s helping a child feel more confident, helping them build skills to connect with others, supporting sensory needs, or building independence in daily routines, we approach each session with respect, and a strong belief in each child's potential.
We’re here to walk alongside you, celebrate progress (big and small), and help your child feel safe, supported, and ready to shine.

We believe in a child driven, family centred and strengths-based approach to therapy. This allows your child to embrace their true self and build their self-confidence.
Each child has their own unique strengths. We love to celebrate and embrace these strengths in all of our therapy sessions.
We work with children aged 0 to 13 years of age.

Intensive Therapy Programs
Intensive programs or "intensives" are offered during the school holidays.
Intensives are individualised sessions that are completed daily for 5 to 10 days.
The aim of intensive therapy is to make greater therapy gains in a shorter period of time. This is achieved through playful and meaningful exploration of the senses and other therapy activities.
