Helping your child move, learn and thrive

At Hemispheres, we believe that understanding how a child develops is central to understanding why everyday activities may feel difficult. 

Established in 2003, our private occupational therapy practice brings together specialist knowledge of neurodevelopment with a personal approach that recognises every child’s strengths, interests and needs. 

Our distinctive focus is on exploring the developmental foundations of movement, sensory processing and everyday skills, including the role of primitive and postural reflexes—the automatic responses involved in early development, posture and movement. 

Through detailed assessment, we consider these alongside your child’s functional abilities and the activities that matter most to your family. We then create an individual programme combining purposeful play, practical skills and movements drawn from our reflex integration approach, with manageable activities to practise at home and regular therapist reviews. 

Where appropriate, our occupational therapy combines activity and reflex integration with low-level laser therapy, also known as photobiomodulation or “cold light” therapy. 

This is an optional addition to treatment; because evidence for its benefits in children’s development is still emerging, we discuss its suitability, potential risks and current evidence with parents before recommending it. 

Throughout your child’s programme, our focus remains on meaningful goals, whether that means getting dressed, managing sensory experiences, writing more comfortably or joining in with play and learning. 

With clinic appointments and online support for families worldwide, we work in partnership with parents to make therapy practical, personalised and relevant to everyday life.Let’s talk about your child
