Neuroaffirming Occupational Therapy for children and teenagers
Supporting young people to feel confident in who they are, build wellbeing, and participate in everyday life in ways that feel meaningful to them.
Supporting young people to be who they are and become who they want to be.
At Being and Becoming Occupational Therapy, we partner with children, teenagers and their families to build confidence, strengthen wellbeing, and support participation in the activities that matter most.
We provide mobile therapy across Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Maitland and Port Stephens, with limited clinic sessions available at the BCP Hub in Warners Bay.
A values-led, neuroaffirming approach
At Being and Becoming Occupational Therapy, we work from a place of acceptance, collaboration and respect. We recognise that every child experiences the world differently, and there is no single “right” way to think, feel or participate.
We partner with young people and their families to better understand what matters to them, what feels challenging, and what support might look like in their everyday lives.
Our approach is grounded in relationship, trust and curiosity. This creates space for children and teenagers to build confidence, strengthen wellbeing and show up as themselves.
