✨ Introducing Smitha! An incredible OT with the kindest and calmest presence, bringing calm to even the most complex situations. Our clients (and team) are so lucky to have her 🤍
What is your role?
I’m an Occupational Therapist (OT).
Why did you become an OT/SP?
I’ve always wanted to work with kids. When I first learned about OT, it felt like the perfect blend of science and art. I love that it allows room for creativity, problem-solving, and so much variety, no two days look the same, and there’s always room to try new ideas.
What is your favourite part of your job?
Definitely interacting with kids. Building relationships through play, having fun together, and watching their confidence grow is the most rewarding part of what I do. I also love supporting parents to better understand their child, what their behaviour might be communicating and how to support them in everyday life.
What is your favourite resource?
Messy play and anything involving pretend play .They’re engaging, and such a great way for kids to explore, learn, and practice skills while just having fun.
Favourite area to work with?
Emotional regulation, sensory processing, and self-care skills. I love helping kids and their parents better understand their bodies and emotions, and supporting them to become more confident and independent in everyday life.
