Catarina has worked with our son (AuDHD) for four years and the commitment, flexibility and personalised care she has shown for him over that time has been exceptional. She takes a holistic approach to any therapeutic interventions ensuring that his emotional development is met with compassion as well as the current best practice in evidence-based strategies for support. The strong trusting foundation she has built in helping him recognise and manage his feelings underpins the way in which she consistently supports him to challenge himself to develop his motor skills and take risks and strike out for new skills in both his school work and his play in a safe environment. She liaises extensively with his educational setting to ensure her interventions are generalised, is fully involved in all annual reviews and updates to his EHCP, and has offered expert testimony for our successful appeal to ensure our son had the level of care that he requires and deserves. She does all of this with her signature kindness, fun and warmth. We cannot recommend her highly enough!

After searching through numerous private OTs, I discovered Sensory Powers, which was truly transformative. Catarina was exceptionally professional and friendly, and actively listened during the initial contact. Andreia thorough understanding gave me immense relief; she connected with my daughter almost instantly. My daughter felt so at ease that she encouraged me to step away, which is remarkable. She found the session enjoyable, not at all like a test. The report was incredibly accurate and led to my daughter's formal diagnosis of DCD, providing my husband and me with valuable insights into her sensory needs and practical strategies to support her development and emotional regulation. I can't express enough gratitude for this service. We are excited to embark on private sessions and have already recommended them to other parents. I wholeheartedly recommend Seneory Powers!
Lorraine, E's mum
My daughter started seeing Catarina about a year ago. Her weekly sessions with Catarina are the highlight of her week. I feel that they really help her to regulate and re-energize.
Also her physical confidence and abilities have increased.
Catarina's approach is very child centred and playful and she has built a strong trusting relationship with my daughter.
I highly recommend Sensory Powers if you're looking for an OT.

I can whole heartedly recommend Andreia. Her assessment was thorough and insightful. She really understood our family member and was led by them which was important to us. She gave us a lot of helpful strategies and we are seeing improvement in lots of areas of life. Thank you Andreia.
Janey, R's mum
We’ve had an excellent experience with Mariana at Sensory Powers. She was consistently patient, kind, and warm with our autistic daughter, taking the time to build trust, explaining what she was doing, and listening to our concerns.
She brings real expertise in sensory integration and how sensory processing difficulties present in autistic children, and her ideas were practical and easy to use at home and share with school. Sessions felt light and engaging, and she kept things fun and focused.. Highly recommended.
Lauren, D's mum
Catarina was so kind with our child and made them quickly at ease. Her work and reports are really thorough and we have been really pleased with her communication and the work with the child. We would recommend Sensory Powers to other families who want to better understand their child's needs and who need reports to document high masking children with significant sensory needs. Thank you.
Victoria, T's mum
