Listening
Every family, child, and adult brings a different story, context, and way of experiencing daily life. Listening carefully is the starting point for understanding what matters most and what meaningful support should look like.
Occupational Therapy in Cambridge, UK
Supporting families and their children. Supporting everyone's sleep, from birth.
Thaina Miranda is an occupational therapist dedicated to supporting children's development. She specialises in neurodivergence and supports families in their real, everyday contexts to help them achieve what they need and want to do. She also provides sleep care, so that all other activities become possible.
Values
Listening, collaboration, transparency, and science-informed care.
Partnership
Occupational therapy works best as a partnership. Support is developed collaboratively, with respect for each person's goals, routines, strengths, and the realities of everyday family life.
Transparency
Clear communication matters. From the first conversation onward, the aim is to provide honest guidance about concerns, possible next steps, expected outcomes, and what support can realistically offer.
Science-informed care
Recommendations are based on what research shows works, and adapted to fit your real life.

Is your child not reaching their developmental milestones?
Struggling with sleep, or perhaps you are an adult living with insomnia? Get in touch.
Based in Cambridgeshire, I offer paediatric occupational therapy and clinical sleep support through a practical, client-centred, family-centred approach grounded in listening, partnership, and evidence-based care. In paediatric practice, play is a fundamental part of childhood, and play-based therapy helps me enter the child's world while working meaningfully towards therapeutic goals.
