Disclaimer. Occupational therapy, speech therapy, counselling, special education and rehabilitation are established, evidence-based disciplines with a substantial body of peer-reviewed research behind them, and our qualified, credentialed therapists practise them to a high clinical standard. This page is educational: it is not an individualized diagnosis or treatment plan for your situation, and our therapists do not prescribe medication. Every person’s path is different, so outcomes depend on individual needs, goals and engagement, and we describe how therapy can help rather than promising a specific result.

Kikstart provides planned, ongoing therapy, not emergency or crisis care. We do not handle acute cases, medical emergencies or mental-health crises, including active suicidal risk; these need immediate, specialised care, and we will always point you to it rather than delay it. If a need falls outside online, planned therapy, we will tell you honestly and help you find the right care.
