My primary goal in my work, is to enable people to feel seen and heard, to empower them to have agency in their own lives and to recognise their inherent worth. My intention, is to add life, purpose and authenticity to their days. I qualified as an occupational therapist in 2005 and have worked with individuals with neurological conditions for most of this time, across both acute and community settings.I have established a solid skill set in assessing and treating people with neurological impairments and providing and delivering rehabilitation plans. During this time, I also developed a passion to support my clients to address their mental health difficulties, adapting to acute trauma caused by a neurological event, but also addressing prior coping patterns and underlying mental health difficulty. Identifying skills and strengths, and working with these, as well as building new skills and coping strategies. As an OT I have expertise in facilitating people to adapt and grow. I believe everyone is capable of making change and improving their lives and I love to collaborate with my clients to remove barriers and achieve their goals. I am also a certified Mindfulness Coach, a skill which sits very comfortably alongside occupational therapy.
