Trauma and Attachment Informed Therapy for Children and their families.
Specialists in complex trauma and post adoption support.
Welcome to Happy Senses
Nurturing Children. Supporting Families. Together.
At Happy Senses, we offer an integrative approach to children’s therapy and family support. Our mission is to create a safe, supportive space where every child can thrive and every family feels heard, empowered, and guided.
Blending evidence-based therapeutic techniques with a deep understanding of each child’s unique needs, we work closely with families to build confidence, connection, and resilience—at home, at school, and beyond.
Whether you're looking for developmental support, sensory integration, emotional regulation, or simply someone to walk the journey with you, we’re here—every step of the way.
Therapies We Offer
Whole-Child Support, Rooted in Connection
At Happy Senses, we offer a range of integrative, trauma-informed therapies designed to support the unique needs of each child—and the families who care for them.
Our approach blends body-based, sensory, and emotional therapies that work together to promote regulation, resilience, and connection. Whether your child is neurodivergent, has experienced trauma, or is facing everyday challenges, we tailor support that meets them where they are.
Explore our therapies below to see how we can support your child—and you—as a whole.
Post Adoption Support
Compassionate, Trauma-Informed Care for Adoptive Families
At Happy Senses, we understand that adoption is a journey filled with both love and complexity. We offer specialist, trauma-informed support for adoptive families, tailored to the unique needs of children who have experienced early adversity or disrupted attachment.
We work closely with Adoption Central England (ACE) to provide therapies and parent support that foster safety, connection, and healing—for both children and their caregivers.
Sensory Integration Therapy
Our sensory integration therapy helps children and young people process sensory information to improve regulation, attention, movement, learning, and social connection.
Difficulties in this area are common among neurodivergent individuals and can also result from early or ongoing trauma. Our approach is child-led, neuroaffirming, and fully trauma-informed—creating a safe, supportive space for growth and confidence.
Somatic Experiencing Therapy
Parenting can be overwhelming—especially when your child is neurodivergent or has experienced trauma. Somatic Experiencing is a body-based, trauma-informed therapy that helps you process stress and restore balance.
By supporting your nervous system, you can show up with more presence, patience, and connection—for both your child and yourself.
Neuro-affective Touch Therapy
Supporting Healing Through Connection
A body-based, trauma-informed therapy that uses safe, respectful touch to support emotional regulation, safety, and connection.
Helpful for children who are neurodivergent or have experienced trauma, and for parents navigating stress, overwhelm, or their own past experiences. Because sometimes healing begins without words.
Heart Math® Coaching
Building Emotional Resilience, One Breath at a Time
HeartMath® combines breathwork and biofeedback to help children and parents manage stress, improve focus, and build emotional regulation.
Simple, evidence-based, and empowering—this approach supports calmer minds, steadier hearts, and stronger connections.
STAR Programme
