About me

I’m Andreia, an HCPC-registered Occupational Therapist.

Over the past decade, I’ve worked in the NHS, private practice, and mainstream schools. I’ve completed postgraduate training in Ayres Sensory Integration, neurodiversity-affirming practice and trauma-informed care.

From experience, I know that the most meaningful progress happens when families and schools feel involved and supported. That’s often more important than weekly sessions which is why I prioritise a collaborative approach where we all work together to understand what’s behind the challenges and to find strategies that genuinely fit into everyday routines. It’s about building support that feels realistic, flexible, and sustainable over time.
