Shelly Saunders's profile

Shelly Saunders

OT with Shelly

I am an independent OT and sensory integration (SI) practitioner with experience of working within NHS mental health and learning disabilities services; and in private practice working with families and schools who needed support for children with various needs.

In 2025, I created OT with Shelly. My bespoke services include assessments, interventions and support for children, young people and families including regular OT input, contribution to EHCPs, and support for parents/carers. I also provide tailor-made training and OT support for schools and staff teams.

My initial goal is to connect with who I am working with. My style of OT draws upon elements of psychological theory, e.g. attachment and trauma, as well as developmental and neuroscientific knowledge to address the fundamental causes of an individual’s challenges. My caseload varies but includes individuals presenting with sensory differences, DCD & other sensorimotor issues, autism, ADHD, OCD, attachment difficulties, trauma, anxiety and more.
