About Me
Hi, I'm Niamh.
I'm a Senior Occupational Therapist with over nine years' experience supporting children and their families to overcome everyday challenges and build confidence through practical, meaningful strategies.
I created Flourish OT because I know that parenting a child with additional needs or developmental differences can sometimes feel overwhelming. Between long waiting lists, conflicting advice and wondering if you're doing the "right" thing, it's easy to feel lost.
My goal is simple: to make occupational therapy easier to understand and more accessible to families.
I believe that every child deserves the opportunity to flourish, and every parent deserves to feel confident in how they can support their child's development. Sometimes, small changes can make a huge difference to everyday life.
Throughout my career, I've worked with children of all ages across community disability services, schools and family-centred settings. I have extensive experience supporting children with physical disabilities, developmental delays, autism, sensory processing differences, coordination difficulties and complex needs. My work has included helping children develop everyday skills, recommending specialist equipment, supporting participation at home and school, and empowering parents with practical strategies that fit into real family life.
At Flourish OT, my focus is on providing personalised, evidence-informed support that is realistic, compassionate and centred around your family's goals. Whether you're looking for guidance on sensory needs, motor skills, play, independence, equipment, school concerns or simply need someone to help you understand where to start, I'm here to help.
I know that no two children are the same. That's why I take the time to listen, understand your concerns and work alongside you to create practical solutions that fit your child, your family and your everyday routines.
When I'm not working as an Occupational Therapist, you'll usually find me spending time with family and friends, getting outdoors, or enjoying a good coffee. Like many parents, I appreciate that life is busy, which is why I believe the best strategies are the ones that are simple, achievable and easy to incorporate into everyday life.
Thank you for visiting Flourish OT. I look forward to supporting you and your child on your journey.
Helping children flourish through real life Actions & confident parents.
