Hello,
I am Dr Leigh‑Anne Davies PhD, a Developmental Therapist and the founder of Mangrove Integrated. With over 25 years of experience across therapeutic, educational, and clinical practice, my mission is to bridge the gap between rigorous science and compassionate care.
My practice is built on the integration of sensory-motor science, developmental assessment and play, as well as the principles of neuroplasticity. I believe that effective intervention starts early and should be grounded in evidence, yet always delivered with the warmth and playfulness that children need to thrive.
My doctoral research focused on developmental pathways in children with Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD). This understanding of complex, early development continues to shape my practice today, ensuring that every intervention offered is informed by a deep understanding of how young brains grow and adapt and what is needed at that developmental stage.
As a qualified Play Therapist, Auditory Integration Practitioner, and Registered Griffiths III User, I draw upon a diverse range of evidence-based methods. This integrated toolkit allows me to move beyond "one-size-fits-all" offerings, instead creating bespoke support plans that strengthen each child’s unique developmental profile. I am guided by the BPS Code of Ethics and Conduct as a Chartered Member of the British Psychological Society (BPS).
Beyond clinical work, I am passionate about empowering the community around the child. I offer specialised workshops for parents, educators, and healthcare professionals, sharing early developmental information and practical, play-based strategies designed to spark lasting, positive change.
Maybe you are searching among the branches for what only appears in the roots. "
