Petrena Laverick

Petrena is a neurodivergent Occupational Therapist who’s passionate about helping individuals feel supported, understood, and genuinely seen. She brings a warm, playful approach to her work, helping young people realise they matter, their voices count, and they’re capable of growing in ways that bring joy, confidence and calm.

With a blend of lived experience, curiosity and humour, she creates therapy spaces that feel safe and collaborative. Whether it’s learning through play, navigating school challenges, or tackling tricky emotions, she walks alongside families and celebrates every win big or tiny.

When she’s not in therapist mode, Petrena can be found with a half finished knitting project with a movie on in the background she has paused and rewound too many times to count, re-reading Harry Potter.... yet again, catching em all in Pokémon, button-mashing her way through PC games, or revisiting her favourite Marvel films. Her happiest moments are spent with her partner and their newest little edition who keeps life wonderfully chaotic in the best possible way.

At her core, Petrena simply wants every young person she meets to feel supported, capable and understood and she aims to bring that heart into every session.
