Anna founded ‘My World Therapy’ in 2017 in order to provide individualised, timely, highly specialist, and up to date independent Occupational Therapy for children with sensory and/or motor skills difficulties. Through thorough assessment, she can build a profile of each child’s strengths and needs. In addition, Anna recognises the importance of understanding what the world feels like to the child and also what motivates them (which is where the “My World” therapy name comes from). This enables an individualised treatment plan to be formulated. As a Mum of two children, Anna understands the importance of therapy being fun and of working closely with parents to understand their priorities for their child.
In addition to providing highly specialist individual therapy, Anna has had extensive experience of delivering training to parents, education staff and health professionals, having lectured on Essex County Council’s Advanced Autism Course for SENCO’s, Teachers and Learning Support Assistants. Anna has also provided independent supervision and consultation to therapy services within Priory Schools, and delivered independent Occupational Therapy and training for National Autistic Society schools.
