At N.C.Therapy, we understand that every child is different. That’s why we adopt a unique, holistic approach to providing therapy that’s specifically designed to meet the individual needs of each child. Whether it’s through a sensory integration approach, a developmental strategy, or a combination of techniques, our goal is to support children in the way that works best for them.
Founded in 2019 by Nicole Conradie, a passionate and experienced registered occupational therapist, N.C.Therapy has grown into a trusted paediatric practice with a dedicated team of specialists. Our approach is based on years of training and experience in Occupational Therapy (OT) and Sensory Integration, and we work closely with families to create tailored support plans that truly make a difference.

Understanding the Importance of a Thorough Assessment
The foundation of effective therapy starts with a comprehensive assessment. Each child’s needs are unique, and understanding those needs is the first step toward meaningful improvement. As an online occupational therapist and in-person specialist, we offer a range of assessment options, ensuring that even families who cannot easily attend in person can still access our expert support.
During an assessment, we look at a child’s overall development, their sensory processing abilities, motor skills, social interaction, and emotional regulation. We believe that a thorough evaluation of a child’s abilities, strengths, and challenges is crucial in determining the right course of action. No two children are the same, and as such, no two therapy plans should be either. This in-depth understanding allows us to design personalised therapy that focuses on the child’s specific requirements and aspirations.
Creating a Tailored Therapy Plan
Once the assessment is complete, we move on to crafting a therapy plan that aligns with the child’s needs. Our team of trained Occupational Therapists, all skilled in Sensory Integration and paediatric development, collaborates to create a plan that supports the child’s development in a variety of settings – at home, in school, and in social environments.
We combine our clinical expertise with a compassionate approach to ensure that therapy feels accessible and engaging for the child. Whether it’s through play-based techniques, sensory activities, or social skills training, we aim to make therapy a positive experience that fosters growth and learning. As a small team, we are able to provide the one-on-one support necessary to ensure that each therapy session is as effective as possible.
The Role of Family in Therapy
At N.C.Therapy, we recognise the critical role that families play in a child’s development. We don’t just work with the child; we work alongside parents and caregivers to ensure that the strategies and techniques we use in therapy are reinforced at home. Our team provides ongoing guidance and support to families, helping them integrate therapeutic practices into everyday routines and activities. This family-centred approach not only strengthens the bond between child and parent but also leads to more consistent and sustainable progress.
The Power of Holistic Support
What truly sets N.C.Therapy apart is our belief in a holistic approach. Our services aren’t limited to just direct therapy sessions; we coordinate with other specialists and services as needed, ensuring that the child receives a comprehensive support system. We understand that physical, emotional, and social health are all interconnected, and we strive to support the child in every aspect of their development.
Whether you’re looking for in-person therapy or the flexibility of an online occupational therapist, we ensure that the support is delivered with the same commitment and quality regardless of the setting.
A Positive Future
The work we do at N.C.Therapy has a lasting impact. By tailoring our approach to fit each child’s unique needs, we help them grow in confidence, develop essential life skills, and thrive in a way that is meaningful for them. Our goal is to not only improve each child’s current well-being but also to provide them with the tools and support they need to succeed in the future.
If you’re seeking a registered occupational therapist who can offer personalised, holistic support for your child, N.C.Therapy is here for you. We’re dedicated to making a difference, one child at a time.
