Quality Care From Quality Experts.

At Onyx Therapy, we understand that meaningful progress starts with feeling safe, understood and accepted.
We take a neuroaffirming and trauma-informed approach to therapy, recognising that every individual’s experiences, strengths and support needs are unique. Before we can work towards goals, develop strategies or build skills, we prioritise creating a strong therapeutic relationship based on trust, respect and collaboration.

For some individuals, particularly those who have experienced previous challenges within education, healthcare or support services, building this relationship may take time. We believe this time is valuable. Rather than rushing into interventions, we work at a pace that feels comfortable for the individual, allowing genuine connection and understanding to develop.

Our therapists use a strengths-based approach to support participation, confidence, communication, independence and wellbeing across everyday life. Therapy may take place in homes, schools, colleges, workplaces, community settings, online, or wherever an individual feels most comfortable.
Every therapy journey is different, but our goal remains the same: to help people better understand themselves, access the support they need, and thrive as their authentic selves.

We don’t believe therapy should feel like something that is done to a person. We believe it should be something that is built with them.

Testimonials

Trusted by Individuals, Families, Schools and Organisations

Real stories from individuals and families we’ve supported.

Highly recommend the Speech and Language Therapy provided by Maddi at Onyx. Steady progress has been made working with my 15 year old son, helping him to develop basic communication skills and has produced some amazing results. Maddi combines SaLT sessions both at home and school to provide continuity of learning which has proven to maximise outcomes, thank you Maddi!

Maddi is one of the best speech therapists that I have had the pleasure of working with. She is so knowledgeable and has built really lovely and respectful relationships with all of the children. Maddi’s neuro affirmative approach is really evident in her practice and it has been wonderful to see the progress that the children have made with her as a result. She is always willing to take the time to share her experience with the staff who also work alongside the children which ensures maximum impact. The children (and staff) are very lucky to have worked with her!

Working with Maddi has had a positive impact on both students and staff, enhancing the communication skills and supporting the social and academic success of our pupils. We look forward to seeing her every week and the children thoroughly enjoy spending time with her. Maddie is fun, knowledgeable and engaging and genuinely cares about our children and their development.

I loved the activities with Maddi she is so kind and I had a lot of fun with her, she is so just kind respectful and caring to everyone.

The report was excellent and captured our daughter perfectly. We were amazed by how quickly she built a trusting relationship with Justine. Within a short space of time, our daughter was engaging in activities she had previously refused, which speaks volumes about Justine's ability to connect, understand and support her in a way that felt safe and comfortable.

Justine has been working with my daughter for over a year now and I can honestly say she has been fantastic. She has built a strong, trusting relationship with her, which hasn’t always been easy for my daughter to do with professionals in the past. Her approach is genuinely person-centred. Because my daughter is older, Justine has encouraged her to have real input into directing her own therapy, which has given her a sense of ownership, confidence, and independence.They’ve worked on meaningful, practical areas such as planning for life after education, exploring routes into employment, and accessing work experience, and the support has always felt tailored rather than generic.

As a parent, navigating EHCPs and support systems can be extremely stressful, but working with Justine has made that feel lighter. I trust her completely. She is calm, thoughtful, and grounding in her communication, and has a way of making both young people and parents feel safe, heard, and supported. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Justine to other families.
