What is Mental Health Occupational Therapy?

Occupational therapy is a profession concerned with promoting people’s health and well-being through occupation or “doing”. We provide practical support, and build people’s confidence and skills so that they can do the things they need to be able to do, or want to be able to do which may include:

  • Looking after yourself and daily routines
  • Being productive in your work or studies
  • Leisure or hobbies – enjoying your life, pursuing interests and being with others.

We specialise in working with people with mental health difficulties, and neurodiversity.

Why choose Occupational Therapy, and who is it for?

We support young people from 12-24 years of age, and adults who are experiencing difficulties with their mental health. Sometimes people come to occupational therapy because of functional difficulties that are  as a result of low mood, depression, ADHD, ASD, worry, anxiety, stress, mood disorders, eating disorders, stress due to life/relationship changes. However you do not need a formal diagnosis to access support.

Occupational therapy focuses on using evidence based practical mental health interventions to get you closer to how you want to be functioning in your life.
