POV: You finally found the sensory input your body was asking for. 🌈✨

Environment is EVERYTHING when it comes to regulation. We love using light and texture to create “safe harbors” for our clients to explore their senses.

What does “feeling” actually look like? 🌈✨

When kids (and adults!) are asked how they feel, the brain often goes blank. By shifting the focus to sensory play, we take the pressure off “talking” and let the hands do the work.

This creation is a beautiful example of Externalizing: taking those tangled internal sensations and giving them a physical shape. When we can see it, touch it, and add some googly eyes to it, it becomes much easier to regulate.

This isn’t just a craft—it’s a map of a regulated nervous system in progress. 🗺️✨

🎨 Paint Spinner Fun + Zones of Regulation! 🌈

We got creative with our paint spinner today and connected our designs to the Zones of Regulation! Each color burst became a way to explore how our feelings can change, mix, and sometimes feel a little messy—just like our art.

❤️ Red = big feelings like anger or excitement
💛 Yellow = wiggly, silly, or nervous energy
💚 Green = calm, focused, and ready to learn
💙 Blue = tired, sad, or low energy

Some of our creations even “broke apart,” just like it can feel when emotions get overwhelming—but we talked about ways to bring ourselves back to green 💚

So pleased to receive this wonderful feedback from one of our sweetest families after completing the Autism Assessment (ADI-R and sensory feedback session).

Here is Mr and Mrs Allen's feedback from an email received today which brought a tear to my eyes. Thank you so, so much.

"I would like to share this feedback for other families that may needed help and support can see it and how amazing your Clinic is,

ADI-R - Wonderful Clinic and Service
"Different but not Less"

I can't ever put into words how much helped Linda and Kim has helped my son. They are amazing all the way from the very beginning and I don't think there is an end cause they both always there to help you with all your questions and concerns. I have spoken to multiple clinics but only find Therapy Space Bristol is the most suitable, reliable, helpful and friendly clinic for my son and my family. Even before the assessment go ahead, Kim and Linda make sure that we know all details and areas of what my son needed for support. This just shows that they're there to help not just to give you a service and I am very thankful for that. It's very important for our family to feel this attachment and build the trust.
Therapy space Bristol made a big impact to my son and family. We now have a better understanding of my son and all the support that is there for him. I wouldn't forget how Linda and Kim made us feel that Autism is not a disability it's a different ability and you should be proud of it. I would recommend them with a heartbeat!

Mr & Mrs. Allen"

Also just wanted to let people know that we are doing Autism assessments over the Summer, we can also boost this up with a sensory assessment in clinic as well as home zoom observations. We are very pleased to say that we have recruited a brilliant Clinical Psychologist to join our team to support our Autism assessments as sadly our last CP had to withdraw due to workload. The team is strong and ready to work. Please email enquiries@therapyspacebristol if you are interested.
