Welcome to Brighton Waves, Occupational Therapy clinic for children, young people and families in Brighton and Hove. 🌊

A question I’m asked a lot: “Where do I sit during my child’s OT session?”

At Brighton Waves OT, parents can choose what feels best:
✔ Sit on the sofa inside the clinic
✔ Sit quietly in the room and observe
✔ Wait in the community centre seating area outside
✔ Join in for part of the session if helpful
✔ Step out briefly if the child works better with space

Every child responds differently — and we follow what helps them feel safe, regulated and confident.

You're always welcome here, in whatever way works best for your child 💛

Play isn’t “just fun” — play is one of the most important occupations for children.

Through play, children learn:
• emotional regulation
• social skills
• motor planning
• problem-solving
• hand strength + coordination
• confidence

If a child avoids play, becomes overwhelmed, or struggles to join in, it can tell us a lot about their sensory or motor needs.

Occupational Therapy supports the foundations behind play so children can explore and engage in ways that feel safe and meaningful.

✨ Play is development.

Clinic Spotlight: Our Sensory Gym Space

Welcome to our sensory gym!

This is where movement, regulation and confidence come together.

Movement supports:
🌀 sensory organisation
⚖️ balance and core control
🧠 attention and learning
💛 emotional regulation
🌈 confidence and play

The sensory gym is designed to be safe, playful and child-led.

Children are encouraged to explore what feels regulating for their body through swinging, climbing, balancing and meaningful movement.

Every child uses this space differently — and that’s exactly the point.

✨ Movement is connection.
✨ Movement is regulation.
✨ Movement is communication.

If you’d like to see how this space is used in therapy sessions, book online through our website for a free consultation

Children’s occupations aren’t jobs — they’re the meaningful daily activities children need, want, or are expected to do.

These include:
🌈 Play
🎒 Participating in school
🧵 Fine motor tasks like cutting or threading
👕 Dressing
🍎 Eating
🛏 Routines like getting ready or winding down
🤝 Social connection
🧠 Emotional regulation

For many children, these activities can feel overwhelming, tiring, or hard to manage — and that’s okay.
It’s often their sensory system, motor skills or emotional regulation that needs support.

Paediatric Occupational Therapy helps children participate in these daily activities with confidence, safety and joy — at home, at school and in the community.

✨ Participation, not perfection.
