We run our clinic appointments from two different locations, depending on which is the most accessible for you. We also have a team location based at The Maples, County Hall, Champney Road, Beverley, East Riding of Yorkshire HU17 9BA.
Sensory Nest
The Sensory Nest is our purpose built clinic space in Beverley.
You can find us at:
East Riding Community Hospital
Swinemoor Lane
Beverley
HU17 0FA
When you arrive at the hospital you head to the main entrance. You do not need to approach the first reception desk to notify us of your arrival (although they can point you in the right direction if you unsure where to go).
Head down the main corridor ahead of you until you reach a waiting area with seats in the corridor (physio waiting area).
Take a seat, and a member of the team will come and find you at the time of your appointment.
Parking
If you are parking your car here for the appointment, you do not need to pay to park, or register your car.
Public Transport
If you are using public transport, EYMS service 121 runs directly from Hull and Bridlington down Swinemoor Lane and has stops outside of East Riding Community Hospital. You can also catch this bus from Beverley Bus Station if you have caught the train in.
Please note that you will want to access the building from the CAMHS Inspire Unit Entrance, and you will need to register your car at the front reception desk if you park on the premises.
If you have any difficulty finding the entrance, please email our team and one of the team will come to meet you.
If you are using public transport, from Hull Paragon Interchange you can catch either EYMS or Stagecoach buses to the nearest stops to Walker Street and walk the remaining distance.
Please double-check timetables and routes before departing.
There is no charge for parking, but spaces are limited to the duration of your appointment. You will have five minutes to walk across the road to The Maples and register your car registration at reception. Please only use the car park for your appointment, so we can keep spaces available for all patients. Thank you for your understanding.
Combined the therapists have over 50 years’ experience as qualified therapists and have additional qualifications to make them Advanced Practitioners in Sensory Integration.
The therapists have a range of special interests and qualifications to provide holistic sensory advice and support and complete further assessments. These include:
I am extremely excited to be working within the Sensory Processing Team, continuing to help and support the children within our community.
I have worked as an occupational therapist in a wide range of areas and previously worked within the paediatric OT service. From joining this team I quickly realised that my passions are for working with children and their families and thoroughly enjoy the challenges and rewards that this brings. Sensory integration theory is based on the premise that children have an inner drive to develop; this mirrors my beliefs and my continuous motivation to support children with sensory opportunities to play, grow and love life. I’m a positive person with a love of nature and the outdoors.
My passion is working with children and young people with sensory processing differences and their families. Since qualifying as an Occupational Therapist, I have gained a wide range of experience working with young people and their families, through the NHS and the private sector.
I love seeing the impact that I can make on the lives of these families through sharing my knowledge around sensory processing differences. In my spare time I love knitting, yoga, gardening and going on adventures with my family and our dog.
Understanding and supporting people with sensory processing differences to realise their strengths and overcome any challenges has been my passion for 13 years.
I am really enthusiastic about my work in the sensory processing service and I am always looking to develop my skills. I pride myself on being professional, friendly and caring. I am family orientated and also love to cook – I’m a real foodie!
I am a Specialist Occupational Therapist with a background in Learning Disabilities and Mental Health. I work across both the Sensory Processing Hub and Sensory Schools Outreach Service.
My passion for Sensory Integration is what inspired me to train as an Occupational Therapist, and I am committed to supporting children, young people and the people in their lives to better understand and navigate their sensory experiences.
Outside of work, I like to spend time with my family and our dogs, I also like cooking and going to the gym and swimming.
I am one of the Administration Assistant for the Sensory Processing Team, and my aim is to help deliver quality support to the Team and everyone who accesses our service.
I love working in the Sensory Processing Service team as everyone is so positive and professional. I am especially proud of helping children and families in and around Hull and East Riding of Yorkshire. I have worked in education locally for many years and have lots of skills and knowledge to help everyone I encounter as part of my role. I love gardening, eating cake and I love to walk my dogs, being in nature and walking in the woods and countryside is very important to me and it makes me feel very happy and thankful.
As an administrator I have worked in the NHS for about 20 years and have always tried to do my best for everyone I have contact with. I am semi-retired but love working within the Sensory Processing Service.
I am very much a people person and love helping and problem solving and would say my biggest fault is talking too much! I am very family oriented and love going out for afternoon tea.
As someone who is passionate about Mental Health, it is has always been important to me to be a part of something that positively impacts people’s lives, and having recently joined the Sensory Processing Service as an Administrative Assistant, I’m delighted to finally be part of a team that makes such a difference!
I spend as much time as I can travelling, and when not exploring, I can usually be found with a good book, planning my next adventure or, most importantly – hanging out with my snakes, pretending to be a Bond villain.
I am incredibly passionate and committed to ensuring children and young people with sensory processing difficulties have every opportunity to reach their optimum in every day life and have the right support to reach their goals. Sensory processing differences can have a significant impact on individuals every day life and being a part of improving their quality of life and wellbeing through the work we do gives me great pride in doing the job I love.
In my spare time I love to bake, as well as walks in the countryside with my family and dog.
I’ve always been passionate about working with children and families, so being part of the Sensory Processing team as an Associate Practitioner in Occupational Therapy truly feels like a perfect fit. Every day, I’m grateful for the chance to help children and their families better understand and navigate their sensory needs. It’s incredibly rewarding to see the difference that personalised, meaningful support can make.
I’m deeply committed to delivering care that’s not only high-quality but also kind, thoughtful, and tailored to each child. I love learning and am always looking for new ways to grow and strengthen my skills so I can offer the very best support possible.
When I’m not at work, you’ll likely find me curled up with a good book, refreshing a room with some home décor, or elbows-deep in a DIY project—anything creative and hands-on!
With nearly 20 years of teaching experience, I now work with the Sensory Service to support children, young people, and their families in managing sensory processing challenges. Helping others navigate their world and make meaningful progress is a rewarding and amazing part of my role.
This service provides post-diagnostic support and on-going management for children and young people with ADHD and their families.
