About Us

Our mission is clear: to ensure every child has the opportunity to reach their full potential. We work closely with families, schools, and professionals to explore every pathway for growth and development.

SEND & Sensory began in 2021 as a personal mission when I opened my home to families needing expert support and a safe, caring space. From these beginnings, we’ve grown into two vibrant clinics in Walthamstow and Kilburn, offering holistic, multi-disciplinary services including our bespoke 1-2-1 Mosaic Pathway therapy, speech and language therapy, occupational therapy, and specialist education support.

Today, we proudly offer therapy, consultancy, EHCP support, and training to champion inclusion and empower children across our diverse communities.

Every child matters to us. We celebrate the talents, cultures, and journeys of each child, nurturing them in a safe, inclusive environment.

Thank you for considering SEND & Sensory. We look forward to welcoming you.
