Who We Are

Rosie Gibbons
PG Dip OT, BSc, MSc, RCOT, HCPC, Accredited Sensory Integration Practitioner
I have over 14 years’ experience in the field of paediatrics, and am passionate about supporting children, young adults and their families to engage and thrive in everyday life. Having a sibling with additional needs has given me an intrinsic understanding of the experiences and challenges that families go thorough throughout life.
I provide assessment and treatment for children and young adults with a range of needs, including autistic spectrum disorder, global developmental delay, dyspraxia, cerebral palsy, ADHD and Acquired Brain Injury. I have a special interest in Sensory Integration (ASI), and have qualified as an Advanced Sensory Integration Practitioner.
In addition to co-running Vigere OT Cornwall, I work closely with Kernow Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) and work as a Case Manager, providing specialist support to adults and children with Acquired Brain Injury and Autism
For me, living and working in Cornwall is all about harnessing our great outdoors. Where possible, I use nature and whole-body movement as part of the therapeutic process.
Louise Thrower
BSc (Hons), RCOT, HCPC, Accredited Sensory Integration Practitioner
I am an experienced Children’s Occupational Therapist with a holistic, family centred approach. Motivated to find creative ways to support children to learn, play and interact with their environment, I have a specialist interest in early intervention, sensory development and the mother infant bond.
Since qualifying almost 10 years ago I have developed specialist knowledge and expertise in a range of paediatric areas including: child development, trauma, Acquired Brain Injury, neurodevelopmental conditions, developmental coordination disorder (dyspraxia), learning disabilities and mental health. I am an Accredited Sensory Integration Practitioner (ASI) and apply principles of Sensory Attachment Intervention (SAI) when understanding the needs of a child or young person.
In addition to co running Vigere OT Cornwall, I continue to work as a specialist occupational therapist within the NHS, supporting children with moderate to severe learning disabilities and mental health concerns within Cornwall. In the past three years I have provided a wide variety of training and workshops, aswell as guest lecturing for Exeter University.
Having worked extensively with children and young adults with a wide range of physical, emotional and learning needs, I have a specialist interest in understanding how a child/young person has and is experiencing the world, as only then can we begin to help them grow and feel safe within it.
