Your child deserves to live life to their amazing potential.
About B-Independent child development services
B-Independent Therapy is a Children’s Occupational Therapy service that helps children and young people overcome their unique challenges, find their strength, and enjoy everyday life.
We are here so parents can access evidence-based support, leveraged by scientific research, that will make a positive impact on their child’s life.
We believe your child can achieve.
Getting up in the morning, brushing their teeth...
...eating breakfast, and putting on their shoes — a handful of tasks young people do before the school day even begins.
Part of everyday life, children thrive when they can achieve their own level of independence. As a parent or carer, you know this.
You want your child to experience life to its fullest.
B-Independent therapy is here for the families who need help getting there.
Our approach
Because it matters to your child's care.
01.
Early intervention
Because we understand that getting the right support for your child — as early as possible — is the key to maximising their joy in everyday life.
02.
Evidence-based
Everything we do is rooted in science and backed by research. This means we’re creative in tailoring intervention options that meet your child’s unique needs.
03.
Empowering parents
You deserve confidence as a family. We're here to support you, ensuring you feel informed, clear, and calm about your child's therapy journey.
04.
Joined up care
We look at the 'bigger picture' to understand fully what’s going on with your child. We’ll refer to a network of health professionals when needed.
05.
Child-centred
Your child’s health and well-being is our focus. We work with your family to deliver a fun therapy practice that gives your child confidence.
06.
Safe space
Come on in. No pressure here. Just a calm, nurturing space for your child to learn, grow, and develop at their own pace.
07.
No long waiting lists
No waiting around for months, or even years. We see you promptly, ensuring you get the early intervention your child needs to thrive.
Hello. I'm Rebecca Johnson.
the children’s occupational therapist behind B-Independent Therapy.
Whoever you are and whatever you’re going through right now, parenting can be a tough gig. And if you’ve received difficult news about your child’s health or development
— or you suspect something isn’t right, and you’re looking for answers — it can be even harder.
"”Becci gave me the confidence and the knowledge to assist my son and explained things to keep an eye on, which has made me feel so empowered as a parent, when initially I didn’t know where to turn.”
