Treehouse Therapy put down roots in 2017 to help facilitate early intervention and allow children to reach their full potential. Our early intervention services aim to empower parents with the tools they need to support their child through developmental challenges.
Occupational therapy can assist children with developmental delays to learn and grow both socially and emotionally. Playing is another key element to successful early intervention. Play Therapy empowers children with the necessary skills for emotional regulation, self-expression, self-awareness, socialisation and communication stimulating creative thinking and exploration of self.
Stef and Jen have extensive experience in paediatric therapy and have both found their passion in empowering children as well as parents throughout their therapeutic journey.
Our Occupational Therapy practice specialises in Play Therapy and Sensory Integration. Our focus is on promoting academic, social and emotional wellbeing of children.
Our therapists are registered with the HPCSA and accredited by the Academy of Play and Child Psychotherapy in the UK as well as South African Sensory Integration Association.
