Service Details
Occupational therapy
Practical support that makes daily life workable again — at home, at work, and everywhere the ordinary things have become difficult.
Occupational therapy is concerned with the things you actually do: dressing, cooking, driving, working, caring for someone else. When illness, injury or a mental-health difficulty makes those tasks harder, occupational therapy looks for the practical route back to them.
How treatment works
Your therapist starts by mapping a typical day with you and identifying where it breaks down. From there the work is concrete — changing how a task is done, adapting the environment, pacing activity across the week, or rebuilding a specific skill step by step.
What you can expect
Progress is measured against your own goals rather than a generic scale. Sessions often include work you take away and try in your own setting, and we adjust the plan based on what genuinely helped.
Questions? You need answer
Physical therapy focuses on restoring movement and physical capacity. Occupational therapy focuses on the activities that capacity is for — helping you carry out daily tasks, at home and at work, in whatever way works best for you.
Yes. Structure, routine and meaningful activity have a significant effect on mood, anxiety and recovery. Many of our patients see an occupational therapist alongside a mental-health therapist.
Where an assessment in your own environment would be genuinely useful, we can arrange one. Your therapist will discuss whether that is appropriate during your first appointment.
