- For child clients: The assessment session involves some talking about what the child enjoys, finds easy, and what they don’t like and fine hard. I usually do this with both child and parent, and child can be playing/exploring the room during it. I go through standardised movement and handwriting assessment (standardised from age 8), assess through discussion and observation any other tasks that are challenging at the moment, and explore their sensory processing through discussion. I give feedback throughout to build your understanding of what I am observing. Both parents are welcome if you like.

Unyte listening therapies
- The Unyte ‘Rest and Restore Protocol’ is a listening therapy I can provide supported access to. It is designed to bring your body into the ‘dorsal rest’ nervous system state so can help people whose systems have difficulty moving from hypervigilance and fight/flight sympathetic nervous system activation. €200 for one year’s access, which gives time to complete the programme more than once and utilise throughout the year while developing habits of returning to calm and relaxation between stressful times.
- The Unyte ‘Safe and Sound Protocol’ is a listening therapy I can provide supported access to. It is designed to make it easier for your body to move into the ‘ventral vagal’ nervous system state. This is the social engagement state which makes it possible for us to connect with and gain felt safety from being around others. It trains the muscles of the inner ear to filter out some sounds and focus on the frequency of human voices. It can help people by improving their auditory sensitivity, emotional control, and ability to feel safer when engaged with others. €350 for one year’s access, which gives time to complete the programme more than once and utilise the ‘Balance’ tracks to maintain the benefits you feel while working through the programme.
Travel costs for home, school or work sessions are calculated at rate of €125 per hour travel time to and from my base in Kildangan, Co. Kildare.
