Online Services

Online services are a fantastic option; Sinead has delivered countless fun and interactive sessions over the last three years. This is a great option for a busy household, it also supports clients who may find it difficult to travel to a clinic setting by maintaining and accessing support from the comfort of their own home. 

​

Of course, there is also the option to have a hybrid approach, for example with some family members able to connect remotely to an in-person session. Sessions are very much able to be tailored to the needs of the family.

Please also note that our online platform is GDPR compliant.
