WELCOME

At Peace Lily Occupational Therapy, we celebrate difference and empower individuals - through specialist OT support in schools and workplaces, or creative sewing workshops that nurture wellbeing and connection.

Dawn Gayle

Founder of Peace Lily Occupational Therapy

Dawn is a registered Occupational Therapist with a background in both education and healthcare, and a lifelong passion for helping people discover their strengths and live fulfilling, independent lives.

​

Her experience spans the NHS, local authority services, and private practice, giving her a broad understanding of how to support individuals across a range of environments and needs.

 

With children and young people, Dawn focuses on sensory processing, motor coordination, handwriting, wellbeing, and contributing to EHCP reviews. For adults, she provides home assessments, equipment provision, and mobility and adaptation support to promote confidence and independence at home.

 

Her NHS experience includes orthopaedics, trauma, discharge planning, and mobility assessments, while her social care work centres on community-based independence, housing, and environmental assessments.

Why OT?

Occupational therapy is about more than treatment - it’s about empowering people to live meaningful, independent lives. By focusing on the activities that matter most, OT helps children, adults, and families overcome barriers, build confidence, and develop practical skills to thrive at school, at work, and in everyday life.

“Working with Dawn has made such a difference to our pupils.”

“As a SENCo, I’ve seen firsthand the positive impact Dawn has on children with additional needs. Her sessions are calm, structured, and deeply empathetic. She has a gift for making children feel safe and understood. Parents have commented on how much more confident their children seem, and teachers have noticed improvements in focus, motor skills, and self-regulation. We’re so grateful to have her expertise in school.”
