Occupational Therapist , Midlands
Passionate about helping children and young people develop confidence, independence, and meaningful life skills, Konstantina brings over 13 years of experience supporting individuals with additional needs across educational, home, community, and clinical settings.
Holding both an MSc OT and BA (Hons) in Special Educational Needs and Inclusion, Konstantina specialises in supporting children and young people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and other neurodevelopmental differences.
Her extensive experience across a variety of countries and settings has provided her with a broad understanding of inclusion, child development, and the importance of tailoring support to each individual’s unique strengths and needs.
At the heart of Konstantina’s practice is a belief that every child deserves the opportunity to participate fully in everyday life. She is particularly passionate about helping children develop practical skills that foster greater independence, confidence, and quality of life, both now and in the future.
Her areas of interest include:
- Functional daily living skills
- Community participation and inclusion
- Social and communication development
- Emotional regulation
- Independence and self-care skills
- Positive behaviour support
- Building confidence through meaningful activities
Drawing on her experience in Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) and ABA-informed practice, Konstantina can create individualised, strengths-based interventions that are engaging, practical, and meaningful for each child and family. Her approach focuses on developing skills that make a genuine difference in everyday life, whether that means increasing independence at home, building confidence in the community, or supporting successful participation in school and leisure activities.
Konstantina is committed to ongoing professional development and regularly undertakes specialist training to ensure her practice remains evidence-based and aligned with current best practice. Her professional training includes autism and neurodevelopmental practice, sensory-based interventions, DIR/Floortime®, TalkTools®, PECS®, Positive Behaviour Support, Team Teach, Verbal Behaviour (VB), Registered Behaviour Technician (RBT) training, and a range of approaches that support communication, participation, emotional wellbeing, and functional independence.
“My goal is to help every child build the confidence, skills, and independence they need to participate fully in the activities and experiences that matter most to them.”
