Rehabilitation.

Rehabilitation is about helping people regain or enhance participation in their daily occupations after life changing illness, injury or surgery which includes:

• Brain Injury
• Stroke
• Neurological conditions
• Amputation/Orthopaedic injury
• Long term conditions

Following a thorough and comprehensive assessment to evaluate your physical, cognitive, and emotional needs, we work together to identify areas of difficulty and agree specific actions to remedy these. I offer a focused, creative, and practical approach that will enable you to overcome the barriers preventing you from participating fully in the occupations of daily life. It is very easy to focus on what we can no longer do, I work with you to identify what you can do.

Later Life.

The quality of life and our purpose inevitably changes in later life, which can often leave us feeling less capable, frustrated, or even defeated and anxious. Occupational Therapists play a vital role in helping those in later life maintain their independence, improve their quality of life, and overcome challenges related to ageing. This may include considering adaptative equipment or home modifications, cognitive strategies to support memory, fatigue management or support for family members/carers.

Lifestyle Occupational Therapy.

Lifestyle medicine is an approach to healthcare that focuses on promoting evidence-based lifestyle interventions to prevent, treat, and manage chronic conditions. I am passionate about how our lifestyle choices can, and does, impact all aspects of our health and wellbeing. My clinical skills and professional experience helps me to empower individuals who are interested in proactively improving their health and wellbeing through supportive coaching and accountability. We would work collaboratively to address current lifestyle factors, such as sleep, nutrition, stress, and movement, to identify areas for improvement, and support you in beginning to make small, positive changes to promote better physical and emotional wellbeing.

From time-to-time there will be clients who require specialised resources as part of their rehabilitation from injury or accidents. Before appointing these specialists, you need to feel confident you are placing your client in safe and trusted hands. It also helps when they have empathy and the ability to instinctively know how to quickly connect with your client to achieve lasting change and increased quality of life. Compassion, curiosity, and collaboration are key when working towards rehabilitation, together with patience and resourcefulness to discover just what will make the rehabilitation experience enabling and confidence building for your client.
