Hello, my name is Erick.
I trained at Kenya Medical Training College, qualifying as an Occupational Therapist in 2020. Since then, I have developed strong clinical experience across early intervention and school-based settings, supporting children and young people with a wide range of needs.
I currently work within specialist ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) and SEMH (Social, Emotional and Mental Health) provisions, supporting children and young people with diverse sensory, motor and functional needs. My particular areas of interest include sensory integration and SEMH-focused occupational therapy.
I am passionate about helping students build confidence, independence and meaningful engagement in their everyday environments. I enjoy working collaboratively with schools and families to develop supportive, practical and child-centred approaches that enable each young person to participate and thrive.
The Words First value that resonates most with me is flexibility. I value the way this shapes our practice, allowing us to adapt, respond creatively and tailor interventions to each child’s unique profile. This aligns closely with my own approach of meeting students where they are and adjusting strategies to ensure they feel understood, supported and empowered.
Outside of work, I enjoy watching and playing football, going for runs and spending quality time catching up and having conversations with friends.
