Neurodevelopmental Therapy for Children in West Yorkshire
I am Rebecca Gough, an INPP Licentiate and Tomatis Level 2 Practitioner based in Holmfirth, West Yorkshire. I specialise in supporting children with learning difficulties, anxiety, coordination challenges, and the effects of retained primitive reflexes, using evidence-based, drug-free approaches. I also hold a satellite clinic in Brighton for families unable to travel to West Yorkshire.

At Think Thrive, I specialise in working with children who show signs of neurodevelopmental delay. This means there is an immaturity in how the central nervous system is functioning, which I most often see highlighted by the presence of retained primitive reflexes.
What are Primitive Reflexes?
Primitive reflexes are automatic, involuntary responses that develop in the womb. They are essential for the birthing process and for development during the first year of life. When they integrate properly, they pave the way for postural reflexes, which help the central nervous system and sensory systems work as effectively as possible throughout life.
Ideally, primitive reflexes should stop being active by the time a child reaches one year old. When they remain active beyond this point, they can affect the normal development of the central nervous system, leading to behavioural, emotional, learning, and physical challenges. Children I work with in Holmfirth and across the Kirklees area often come to me with a cluster of these signs, sometimes after years of struggling without a clear explanation.

I offer a non-invasive, drug-free, and individually tailored programme that uses simple daily movements and, where appropriate, sound therapy. My approach supports the central nervous system in resuming its natural developmental path, giving the brain a genuine opportunity to catch up.
I am the only practitioner in West Yorkshire holding both the INPP Licentiate qualification and Tomatis Level 2 certification. This means I can draw on two distinct, evidence-based approaches in a single practice, rather than referring families to different providers for different needs.
The INPP method, with over 45 years of research behind it, uses personalised daily physical exercises to address the underlying causes of difficulties with learning, coordination, and behaviour. Tomatis sound therapy complements this by working through the auditory system to support attention, language development, and emotional regulation.

How the INPP method works, and what it means for the families I support in Holmfirth and across West Yorkshire
