The Difference We Make

The therapy team’s main goal is to improve the quality of life of the people we support. As a team, they are deeply involved in helping people thrive in their own homes and communities. At Leaf Complex Care, we believe that by delivering holistic care and humanised support, we can provide people with the opportunity to rise above their daily challenges.

By adopting improved routines and learning new ways of communication, we strongly believe that people can reach their full potential and live their desired life. This is the driving force behind our team as we strive to deliver positive outcomes for the people we serve, their families, and the stakeholders involved in their care journey.

‘’We work to make sure that we involve families, social workers and everyone involved in that person’s life so that we get everyone’s views. So, to speak, we make sure everything we do, all interventions are based on PBS and empirical research, serving as best practice for analysing the behaviour of those with whom we work.’’
– Amy Butler, Therapy Team Lead / PBS Specialist Practitioner and Coach

We support people in building meaningful relationships, engaging in activities they cherish, and pursuing their interests.
