As expert Occupational Therapists in helping children with toileting difficulties, we recognise that it can be more time effective and less confrontational for children to meet us virtually (or even over the phone). All our consultations now take place via telehealth, to enable your family to connect with us whenever, and wherever you are.
Our gentle but matter of fact approach, has ensured we have a strong track record in helping children with:
Toilet training: Toilet training typically takes place during the toddler years, but we work supportively with children all the way up to aged 12. We empower even the most anxious or ‘busy’ child to use the toilet and address any behavioural, emotional or physical issues which may be making the process more challenging.

Constipation and Soiling: Especially as children get older, it can be distressing for them and you as the parents if they soil themselves. There are many reasons why it can happen, both from a medical and developmental perspective, which is why Christine works with you and your child to find a solution to a stressful problem.

Wetting/Urgency issues: Particularly as children are toilet training, it’s common for children to wet themselves during the day. They can get distracted as they play or find it hard to read the signals that they need to head to the toilet, with some children regressing after becoming dry. As Occupational Therapists, we work with you as the parent, and with your child to understand the holistic, bigger picture to find out why this is happening and step you through a program to address the root cause and set you on the road to success.

Bedwetting: Children who continue to wet the bed after 5 years of age, would benefit from a review with Christine. We help you as the parent, to understand your role in supporting your child and step you through a roadmap to ensuring your child becomes dry at night. We know that many parents are concerned and anxious and have likely tried a few methods already but can assure you that our roadmap works in empowering your child to become dry overnight.
