Integrate & Regulate
Registered Occupational Therapy · Sydney

When everyday life feels harder than it should, the answer often lies in the body.

When your child is overwhelmed by big emotions, struggling to focus, or finding everyday moments harder than they should be, it is rarely a matter of trying harder. Integrate & Regulate is paediatric Occupational Therapy that works at the developmental foundations beneath the surface, through structured, concentrated work with a clear beginning and endpoint.

Designed, outcome focused programs. Care that comes to you. And one therapist, Ella, holding the whole picture from first session to last.

One Therapist, Start To Finish

The same therapist gets to know your child, designs the program, delivers every session and coaches you through it.

You can trust that your child will not be passed between clinicians, or slotted into an overpacked schedule. I take on a small number of families at a time and hold your child’s full history myself, so every session builds directly on the one before it.

ContinuityOne clinician who knows your child’s history, not a file summary of it
ConsistencyThe same clinical reasoning and the same standard in every session
AccountabilityOne person responsible for the plan, the progress and the outcome

You Know Your Child Best

Does any of this sound familiar?

So many of the families I meet describe the same moments at home. If any of these feel close to home, you are in the right place.

Emotions that overwhelm

Big feelings arrive fast and hit hard, and once they take hold, they can be very difficult to come back from.

Everything, all at once

Sounds, textures, lights, crowds. The world comes in at full volume, with nothing to turn it down.

Digging in, holding on

A change of plan, a different cup, the wrong sock. Small things can feel impossibly big.

You have tried everything

You have read the books and followed the advice, and you can feel there is something underneath it all.

At Integrate & Regulate, I use an evidence based approach that draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, nervous system regulation, attachment theory and DIR Floortime, working with your child's brain, body and sensory processing rather than against them. Understanding what sits underneath the behaviour is what allows us to respond in ways that build regulation, resilience and connection.

Ella MacLean, Occupational Therapist
Meet Ella

A focused, whole person approach

Ella MacLean is a Registered Occupational Therapist focusing on regulation and developmental foundations, who also facilitates therapeutic groups at a leading mental health hospital. Her work is held together by one idea: that regulation begins in the body and the nervous system.

From that foundation she draws together reflex and sensory integration, nervous system regulation and evidence based psychotherapy, as a single integrated approach rather than separate services, with considered clinical reasoning at the centre of every session.
