Rebecca is our newest Occupational Therapist at Pathway's Children's Therapy Services, having graduated at the end of 2025.
During Rebecca's final year of university, Rebecca completed a clinical placement in paediatrics and quickly discovered that working with children and families was the area of Occupational Therapy she wanted to pursue. She is passionate about creating engaging, goal-focused therapy sessions that are meaningful to each child and support them to develop confidence, independence and the skills they need to thrive.
As an early-career Occupational Therapist, Rebecca is excited to continue developing her skills and knowledge within the supportive team environment at Pathways Children's Therapy Services. She looks forward to learning from and being guided by the experienced Occupational Therapists at Pathways, drawing on their extensive knowledge and experience to further develop her clinical skills.
Rebecca, having completed additional training in Aquatic Therapy, has taken on the challenge of running our Aquatic Therapy Program at Pathways Children's Therapy Services.
Outside of work, Rebecca loves spending time with her family, friends and her puppy. She enjoys keeping active, playing soccer and is an avid runner. She is currently training for her next half marathon!

Rebecca is responsible for the running of our Aquatic Therapy Program at Pathways Children's Therapy Services. She is passionate about using the unique benefits of the aquatic environment of a local pool to support children to work towards their individual Occupational Therapy goals in a fun and engaging setting. Aquatic Occupational Therapy can provide opportunities for children to develop physical, functional, sensory and confidence-based skills while participating in enjoyable activities in the water.
Rebecca is particularly passionate about working with teenagers and supporting them to build confidence, independence and practical skills as they prepare for adulthood. She has previous experience working with teenagers through coaching at a local high school. This experience has given her a strong understanding of the importance of connection, trust and creating a supportive environment for young people. Rebecca particularly enjoys working with teenagers and is passionate about empowering them to develop the skills, confidence and independence they need as they transition towards adulthood.
Rebecca takes a strengths-based approach to her work and is passionate about helping every child recognise their abilities, build confidence and reach their individual potential. She aims to create therapy sessions that are enjoyable, purposeful and tailored to what matters most to each child and their family.
