ABOUT US

Gentle Sensory provides a range of services to support neurodivergent children, adults and their loved ones. From capacity building and counselling to gentle support workers and parent coaching, we strive to offer comprehensive and compassionate assistance. Our approach is not to "fix" individuals, but rather to help them grow and thrive in society on their own terms.

THE 
GENTLE SENSORY
APPROACH
Our top priority is to ensure our clients are equipped to thrive in life and gain positive coping strategies to build resilience. This is done through the implementation of evidence-based therapeutic approaches and neuro-affirming support.

EVIDENCE-BASED

EMPOWERMENT

Ensuring individuals are in control of their own lives, make informed decisions about their care, and develop the confidence and skills necessary to manage their mental health.

TRAUMA-INFORMED

Understanding that trauma can have lasting impacts on the mental, emotional, and physical well-being of a person, and that care should be delivered in a way that acknowledges these experiences without causing further harm.

NEURO-AFFIRMING

Ensuring respect, validation, and accommodation to the diverse ways in which a person's brain functions, empowering neurodiversity.

CULTURALLY SAFE

Recognise, respect, and respond appropriately to the cultural differences and unique needs of individuals.

ACCEPTANCE

Recognising and respecting an individual's thoughts, feelings, behaviours, and experiences without judgment.
