A specialist team that brings clinical expertise, curiosity and genuine care to every connection.
Founder & Director · Paediatric Occupational Therapist · Advanced Sensory Integration Practitioner. Scarlett founded Connect in 2018 to create more opportunities for children and young people to feel understood, included and able to participate in what matters to them. She believes young people should not have to change who they are to fit the world around them. Outside Connect, she loves being active, exploring nature, meeting people and travelling.
Occupational Therapist & Sensory Integration Practitioner. Alice brings a gentle, nurturing and child-led approach to assessment and therapy. Formerly a Learning Disability Nurse, she gained her Occupational Therapy Master's in 2022 and has completed specialist Sensory Integration and interoception training. Outside work she enjoys swimming, films, friends and reading.
Paediatric Occupational Therapist. Abbie joined Connect after graduating in 2023 and has further qualifications in Sensory Integration and cognitive behavioural therapy. She has a particular interest in sensory needs, neurodivergence and mental health in adolescence, and delivers Connect's ISC-OT service. She enjoys singing, musical theatre and walking her dog.
Occupational Therapy Assistant. Ellie supports therapy sessions and assessments, prepares resources and brings creativity and fun to the therapy space and Connect's communications. She has a Psychology degree and is due to begin an MSc in Occupational Therapy in January 2027. Outside work she loves nature, van travel and performing.
Administrator. Lexie joined Connect in April 2026 and is often one of the first people families speak to. She helps with enquiries and appointments throughout assessment and intervention. Outside work she enjoys sport, including Hull City, tennis and Racketlon, and collects Jellycats.
Connect's therapy dog and chief cuddle officer. Queenie visits regularly with Scarlett and loves cuddles, naps, water and mud. She is always introduced thoughtfully because not every child or young person feels comfortable around dogs.
