Our Mission

It is super hard to put our mission into words. Obviously we want to provide you and your family with high quality services but we want much more than that. Overall we seek to provide you with services which enable your child and family to have a meaningful and purposeful life. One which services your child’s values and your values. Both of which are super tricky as no one’s meaning and purpose is identical to another’s.

To really put it to words, I went back to reading your christmas cards which helped me to put my feelings and thoughts to words.

We want to be part of your ‘I Can’ network, to show you how it is ok to be you and how we much we care for ‘you’ to be ‘you’.

We will relish the fun and joy of working with children.

We will celebrate your wonder and our connection.

We will recognise your abilities and where we can grow together, respecting your limits, worries, hesitations and doubts but at the same time pushing you to realise your competencies.

We will support, be open ears and open hearts, find connection and empowerment where ‘stuff’ is hard, we will always show you hope.

We will never judge but empower you with knowledge and kindness.

We will ensure you stay ‘you’ whilst on the journey of development.

How we work!

To enable our mission we use highly specialised frameworks which let us be ‘us’ and you, ‘you’ whilst developing skills. These are DIR Floor time, Synergetic Play Therapy, Sensory Integration, Interpersonal Neurobiology and Neurodevelopmental models of therapy. These are things we do not learn at university and are trained in at Transforming Kids because we recognise the value in these frameworks enabling development. This is also what separates us from other clinics; We continuously train our staff to enable continuous improvement and have amazing sensory rooms.

Within all these models, we find your foundation, ‘where you are at’, ‘your level of development’ and through a bottom up model, grade development up to higher order skills. This means we start at core skills, ensure the basic foundation of neural connections (for that skill) are there and then build. Just like we cannot walk before we are born, we start small whilst thinking big. We don’t like to double back so we ensure we build from the bottom up rather than making a scattered skill or floating home.

We make goals which last for school terms and review these with you. We get you involved through in person or our free online training. We know that development means we need strong caregivers who understand and are part of the journey.
