Something Exciting is Growing at Whole Child Therapy!
We are thrilled to announce our upcoming partnership with Lindengate, an incredible outdoor clinical space! Starting this September, we are launching a pilot phase (running through December 2026) to bring our Whole Child Therapy approach into the fresh air for children and young people aged 5–19.
Why Nature-Based Occupational Therapy?
Nature isn’t just a backdrop; it’s a powerful co-therapist. Our 1:1 and group sessions leverage the outdoors to help children thrive in ways a traditional clinic cannot:
- Sensory & Emotional Regulation: The natural world offers a rich, calming sensory environment that naturally regulates the nervous system and reduces anxiety.
- Physical Development: Navigating uneven terrain builds essential gross motor skills, balance, and proprioception.
- Executive Functioning: Outdoor environments encourage real-time problem solving and cognitive flexibility.
- Generalisation of Skills: Skills learned in nature transfer more effectively to real-world life and daily routines.
- Reduced Resistance: When therapy feels like play, behavioral resistance melts away, leaving room for pure growth.
Accessibility & Logistics:
- A Space for Everyone: The Lindengate site is fully wheelchair accessible, ensuring inclusion for all.
- Parent Comfort: Relax in our onsite cabin or visit local cafes while your child explores.
- Easy Access: Convenient public transport links and just a short taxi ride from Wendover station.
This pilot project is a fantastic opportunity for us to evaluate how we can best support our community’s well-being through nature-based clinical care. We can’t wait to see the growth, laughter, and learning that this season will bring.
Stay tuned for more updates as we get closer to our September launch!
