Therapy, just done a little differently… 💚 Whether we are working alongside horses, exploring nature, or collaborating out in the community, shifting the environment can offer a different layer of support. 🍃🐎👏

We are proud to work with children, young people, and adults, focusing on the practical everyday skills that matter most:

Build self-esteem & confidence: Developing a strong sense of self-worth and confidence in a gentle, non-judgmental space.

Improve motor skills: Strengthening coordination, balance, and physical confidence through active, hands-on outdoor movement.

Develop self-regulation: Learning how to navigate big emotions, manage sensory overload, and find a sense of calm.

Nurture life skills: Mastering the practical routines that lead to greater independence out in the community.

Support mental well-being: Creating space to build resilience, reduce feelings of isolation, and gently support mental health at any stage of life.

By weaving a love for horses and nature into functional therapy, we offer a complementary approach, helping people bridge the gap between practicing skills and using them in
every day life 😌

We've been receiving lots of questions about our children's Occupational Therapy services, so we thought we'd answer some of the most common ones in this post. 👇

At Maverick Therapies, we're qualified Occupational Therapists delivering evidence-informed OT through nature-based and horse-assisted approaches. The therapy is the same. The environment is different.
✨ No upfront assessment fee
✨ Assessment embedded into sessions
✨ Daytime and after school slots available
✨ Open throughout the summer holidays
✨ Individualised support for children and young people

Many families come to us after their child has struggled to engage in traditional environments, is on a waiting list for support, or simply needs an approach that feels more natural and meaningful.

If you're looking for Occupational Therapy support this summer, swipe through to learn more about our service. If you have any questions, we'd love to hear from you.

We have had a lovely few weeks of Occupational Therapy sessions! 🐎 🍃☀️

We've been busy taking part in a variety of activities with both children and adults at Maverick. Some of the activities we've been enjoying recently to support wellbeing, independence, skill development, and meaningful engagement include:

🍃 Quiet time with our horses – gentle time grooming, stroking, or simply being with these lovely horses, perfect for those living with dementia or other cognitive needs.

🍃 Making our own fruity drinks – a perfect activity for hot days to help keep hydrated, as well as being part of our interoception-focused sessions to develop body awareness, recognise body cues, develop life skills, and participate in something fun and meaningful.

🍃 Making huge bubbles with our Hoberman Sphere – supporting breath work, breathing control, mindfulness, oral motor skills, and self-regulation.

🍃 Horse care activities – including stroking, brushing, and spending time with our horses to support the development of life skills, movement, enjoyment, and wellbeing.

🍃 Harvesting, cooking, and eating fresh food from our garden – supporting gross motor skills, dynamic balance, shoulder stability, safety awareness, and the development of life skills around food preparation and eating. It also provides opportunities to explore foods in a natural and safe environment through touch, smell, and taste.

🍃 Planting sunflowers – a great activity to support fine motor skills, sensory exploration, life skill development, and engagement in a meaningful activity.

We love creating meaningful, enjoyable, and therapeutic experiences that support people of all ages to engage, learn, develop skills, and connect with the world around them. 💚🐴🌻
