My main goal as an occupational therapist is to support parents / carers, families and children in anyway that l can. I do this by being a therapist who provides a holistic, personalised and flexible approach. I am a friendly, approachable and reliable occupational therapist who strongly believes in getting to know the children/families to make sure their needs are met. I use problem solving skills to plan suitable therapeutic intervention (through play and activity) to meet children’s goals to enable as independent functioning as possible to ensure positive well being for all involved.
I have a have a VAST amount of experience including adult and child mental health, equipment services, children's and neurological and inpatients / outpatients, which l draw upon to provide a tailored and holistic approach.

Hello, my name is Emma and I am very excited to be part of the Butterflies team!
I recently graduated from Leeds Beckett University with an MSc in Occupational Therapy. Throughout my time at university, I completed a number of practice placements, including a placement here at Butterflies! I also had placements in hospitals and community mental health services. I also have experience working in a number of NHS settings prior to my degree, including in a CAMHS inpatient unit.
I’m looking forward to developing my skills as an OT and working with children to allow them to thrive during childhood and into adulthood. I will be spending time in schools, as well as developing a school readiness programme to support children transitioning to school.
Likes: Climbing, hiking, running, badminton, swimming, tennis, dancing - everything active! I also like playing board games with friends and family, and going to see musicals - for most car journeys I like to pretend I am in a musical…
