Occupational Therapy Edinburgh

Our son said the best thing about school are break time and spending time with Rachel. She has a warm, genuine, caring nature and her approach to helping our son with the challenges he faces are fun, tailored and engaging. Personally, I have found Rachel extremely supportive and its so refreshing to find someone who just 'get's your child'. Especially when you feel at a bit of a loss with their challenging emotions and behaviour. We'd never want to change our son, but we'd also like to understand and help him with any difficulties he may have, and that can be made easier with Rachel's solutions. She never fails to say how amazing he is, which parents need to hear, she also empathises with him and us as parents equally. A true professional.

Rachel has supported our family since our child needed intervention starting at early years stages, they are now approaching 7 and she is still there. Rachel is always on the other end of the phone when I need her, she’s taken the time to get to know our family and child, she is proactive and tailored her approach to our child’s needs. Her experience, resources and methods have made a positive difference to our family and we look forward to continuing this ij the future. I am thankful for the hard work Rachel has put into our family, she will make you feel comfortable and can really help.

Rachel has been the most wonderful paediatric OT we could have found for our child. She is a delight to work with; kind, efficient, timely, thorough and professional.  Rachel emanates a warm and caring disposition and as such, has built up a brilliant rapport with our child. She takes a personal interest in him and has adapted activities, motivational stickers and task incentives to suit our child’s interests- meaning he’s always having fun and keen to work hard with her.  Nothing is too much of an inconvenience for Rachel, who flexibly adapts to our child’s availability and needs each week. Her thorough feedback from every session is clear and concise and we’ve been involved/able to support with our child’s advancement at every step.  Our child has made wonderful progress with her kind and experienced support. We are incredibly grateful to her and I would not hesitate to recommend Rachel.

Rachel has been supporting my children and my family for some time now. The support she has provided has made a noticeable difference in my child's confidence and their ability to attend nursery and manage the transition into school. Rachel has additionally provided me with support to feel confident in managing my child's challenges by myself when they arise. We don't live in driving distance but Rachel has always been really accessible for either telephone or video calls, and she is always reassuring and understanding to our unique circumstances. 

Rachel has been an excellent support to my son whilst he navigates his ADHD diagnosis. She has supported him at school, ensuring the strategies that they have worked on can be used effectively within the school and our home environment. My son looks forward to his sessions and has built a strong foundation to help manage his emotions.
