Little Tree Kids Therapy is a therapist-owned and operated private practice providing Occupational Therapy services in the
Gold Coast region. We offer high quality evidence-based therapies to children and adolescents at home, school and
community-based settings, as well as at our sensory gym based in Northern Gold Coast.

Being a small, therapist-owned practice, we value the quality of our services and strive to uphold high standards and a
commitment to excellence that can enhance the quality of care and outcomes for children and their families. Our commitment
to quality encompasses compassionate communication, evidence-based practices, and ongoing Professional Development to
ensure we are equipped with the latest advancements in Paediatric Occupational Therapy.

We strive to create a nurturing environment where children feel supported and empowered to achieve their fullest potential.
By valuing and prioritising the quality of service we deliver, we aim to make a meaningful difference in the lives of our young
participants and their families, fostering growth, independence, and a brighter future.

Our Values

Compassion

We understand that each child and family we work with is unique, with their own challenges, hopes, and dreams. With compassion at the heart of our practice, we approach every child and family with empathy, kindness, and understanding. Embracing a holistic perspective, we strive to create a comprehensive and integrated therapy experience that nurtures not only the child's skills and abilities but also their overall happiness and well-being. Through genuine and compassionate care, we aim to make a meaningful difference in the lives of the children and families we serve

Connections

The relationship between therapist, child and family lays the foundation for successful therapy. We prioritise building trust and rapport to nurture a bond that allows children and families to feel safe, respected, and supported. Through strong connections and a felt sense of safety, children are able to express their needs and concerns, and engage fully in therapy. By forming partnerships built on trust, understanding and collaboration, families are empowered to actively participate in therapy, ensuring an integrated approach to supporting development and well-being.

Community

We recognise that a strong, interconnected support network plays a vital role in a child’s growth and success. By actively involving families and educators, and linking families to community resources, we aim to create a foundation for children to thrive both in and out of therapy. Our commitment to community based practices ensures that therapy extends into every aspect of a child's life allowing for meaningful and practical skill development within a natural environment.
