What does a mental health occupational therapist do?
Mental health occupational therapy looks at how your mental health, energy, sensory needs, thinking skills, routines and environment affect everyday life.
Your OT can help with practical skills, daily structure, confidence, self-care, emotional regulation, community access and participation in the things that matter to you.
The goal is not to make life look perfect.
It is to make daily life safer, clearer and more manageable.
We support people experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, PTSD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, psychosocial disability and other mental health related barriers to everyday function.
How we can help
Support is tailored to your situation. These are some common areas people ask for help with.
Build routines for mornings, meals, sleep, appointments, home tasks and everyday responsibilities.
Explore practical ways to manage overwhelm, stress, sensory load, emotional changes and fatigue.
Assessment and recommendations to help explain functional needs, support needs and daily living barriers.
Support for planning, starting tasks, organising, remembering steps and managing competing demands.
Work towards safer, more confident participation in appointments, shopping, study, work or social activities.
Look at your environment, supports and routines so home feels safer and easier to manage.
