Yep!

We’re always working to gently challenge these misconceptions.

Another one we hear a lot…
“She knows what she’s doing, it’s control.”
Often, it’s not about control.
It’s about differences in impulse control, regulation, and flexible thinking.

Where does the time go?! This week, Petals Therapy turns 4! ✨

What a year it’s been…

Over the past 12 months, we’ve proudly expanded our services, continuing with Occupational Therapy with Hayley and Nicola and launching Speech and Language Therapy with our incredible Lead SaLT, Cheryl, and welcoming Alex to the team last summer.

And in March, we reached a huge milestone, opening the doors to our brand new clinic space and welcoming it's very first clients!

Petals Therapy continues to grow, evolve and strengthen, and we couldn’t be prouder of the journey so far.

Thank you to all of the families, schools and professionals who have trusted and supported us along the way, we truly couldn’t do it without you.

Here’s to another year of growth, impact and supporting even more children and young people 🌼🌸🌻🏵️

Rest and recharge mode: 𝗢𝗻!✨

During the school holidays, our therapists will be working reduced hours, with some also taking annual leave, so replies may be a little slower than usual.

Don’t worry, all planned sessions will continue as scheduled and won’t be affected.

Thank you so much for your patience and understanding 🩵

Wishing all of our families and schools a lovely, restful school holiday break 🧡

🌈 Neurodiversity Celebration Week 🌈

Neurodiversity is a beautifully wide umbrella ☂️
It includes a range of ways that people think, learn, process, communicate, and experience the world — from autism and ADHD, to dyslexia, sensory processing differences, and more.

At Petals Therapy, we recognise that no two individuals are the same. Even within the same “label”, each child has their own unique profile of strengths, differences, and support needs.

✨ Neurodiversity is not a problem to be fixed
✨ It is something to be understood, respected, and supported
✨ Inclusive environments help every child to thrive

When we shift our focus from changing the child to adapting the environment, we create spaces where all children can feel safe, regulated, and ready to engage.

Let’s continue to celebrate difference, challenge stereotypes, and build a more inclusive world — not just this week, but every day 💛

Friday Fact 💜

Communication in the early years shapes everything that follows. When children receive the right support early, we don’t just improve speech, we improve confidence, learning and wellbeing.

Early intervention is powerful.

Today and tomorrow Hayley is attending an advanced Occupational Therapy training course on Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) with Dyspraxia UK.

Continuing professional development is a key part of ensuring that our assessments remain up to date, evidence-based, and aligned with current guidance and best practice.

Keeping knowledge fresh and continually building on our understanding helps ensure that the advice, strategies, and recommendations we provide to families and schools reflect the most current research and clinical guidance.

We believe that learning never stops, because the better informed we are, the better we can support the children and young people we work with. 💗

Happy International Women’s Day 💜

Today is about imagining a world that is free from bias, stereotypes, and discrimination. A world that is diverse, equitable, and inclusive, where differences are valued and celebrated.

I’m proud to be a female director of my own business, to lead and grow something I care deeply about. I'm even prouder to be raising a strong teenage daughter in a world where women still too often have to fight to be heard, recognised, and valued.

The progress we’ve made matters, but there is still work to do.

Together we can continue to forge gender equality.

Friday Fact 💜

81% of children described as having emotional or behavioural difficulties also have significant language needs.

Sometimes what we see as “behaviour” is actually:

🟣A child who hasn’t been given enough processing time.
🟣A child navigating sensory overwhelm.
🟣A child who doesn’t yet have the words for how they feel.

Behaviour is communication.

When we adjust how we communicate, reduce environmental overwhelm, and support regulation first, children are far more able to engage, connect and learn.

We look beneath the surface.We seek to understand before we respond.

Because every child deserves to feel heard 💜

📚✨ World Book Day ✨📚

Any excuse to go to work in pyjamas… right? 😄

Today we’re celebrating the joy of books and the incredible role stories play in children’s development. From building imagination and language skills to supporting emotional understanding and connection, books open up so many opportunities for learning and growth.

Our team loved joining in the fun today, sharing some favourite characters and stories, including Giraffes Can’t Dance and Dora the Explorer!

Reading together isn’t just about the story, it’s about connection, conversation, and creating positive experiences around communication, movement, and imagination.

📖 What’s your child’s favourite book at the moment?

Friday Fact 💜

Developmental Coordination Disorder affects around 5–6% of school aged children.

For some children, movement takes more effort. Handwriting feels tiring. PE feels overwhelming. Buttons, cutlery or tying laces can feel frustrating.

But Occupational Therapy is not about “fixing” the child.

It’s about understanding how their body processes movement, adapting tasks, adjusting environments, and creating opportunities for success.

When we change the demands around the child, confidence grows.

When confidence grows, participation follows.

Because every child deserves to feel capable 🌿

Friday Fact 💜

Speech, language and communication needs (SLCN) are now the most common identified SEN in England.

Communication difficulties are not rare.

They are part of everyday school life.

The earlier we recognise and support these needs, the greater the long-term impact for children.
