Today is a very special day for Petals Therapy…
We have collected the keys to our very own clinic space 🗝️✨

This has been a dream in the making for Hayley for many years, and to see it becoming a reality is something we feel incredibly proud of.

This new space will allow us to offer a new approach alongside our existing school and home-based services, providing a calm, consistent environment for assessments and intervention where this is clinically appropriate.

Our heart remains exactly the same:
Supporting children and young people through meaningful, individualised Occupational Therapy and Speech and Language Therapy.

We can’t wait to share more with you over the coming weeks as we begin bringing the space to life 🌿

Exciting things are coming…

Not all children can say “I’m struggling.”

Some show it through silence. Some through movement, shutdown, dysregulation or avoidance.

The theme of Children’s Mental Health Week 2026 is “This is My Place.”

Speech and Language Therapy supports emotional understanding and expression.
Occupational Therapy supports the sensory and physical regulation that makes communication possible.

Feeling safe and able to belong starts with the adults and environments around a child by, let’s shape spaces where children feel they belong 💛

New ADHD Support Service launched for Leicestershire Residents!

Heads Up Leicester

https://www.headsupleicester.org.uk/adhd.html

NEW Support Service launched for Leicestershire County Residents!

Our ADHD Parent/Carer Support Service has been commissioned by Leicestershire County Council and is for families living in the boroughs and districts in the County (not the City of Leicester or Rutland). Parents and Carers of young people under 19 can get support at any stage of their child or young person's ADHD journey - whether they are just starting to consider whether their child may have ADHD, if they are on an assessment waiting list or if they have been diagnosed. Families who are not seeking a diagnosis are welcome.

Family life can be challenging! Our workshops aim to help families understand more about ADHD and how they can apply this knowledge to real life struggles so they can thrive. Our monthly peer support groups encourage families to connect with others on their ADHD journey.

You don't need to be referred by a professional, you can register for support as a parent. Follow this link to find out more about each element of the service, to register for a workshop or join our mailing list to be the first to hear more.

We would be ever so grateful for likes and shares of this post so we can make sure it reaches the families who might benefit. 💚

This week, a teacher shared feedback about a pupil independently using interoception awareness skills from OT sessions to recognise how their body was feeling and apply a strategy in a real life classroom moment to support self-regulation.

Seeing these skills transfer beyond the therapy space and into everyday life is exactly why this work matters 💜🧡🩵🩷

Who’s loving a snow day? ❄☃

Whether it’s snowman building, crunchy snow walks, sledging, or just watching the flakes fall from a cosy window, snow days are full of brilliant sensory experiences 🌨️✨

Movement, fresh air, heavy work, and a bit of cold input can be wonderfully regulating for lots of children, and let’s be honest… they’re pretty fun for grown-ups too!

If you’ve been out enjoying the snow today, we’d love to see it ❄️

📸 Comment below or send us a DM with your snow day fun!

Stay warm, stay safe, and enjoy every flake 🤍
