Occupational therapists are caring professionals who support individuals of every age. They examine all parts of your daily routine, whether at home, in school, or on the job. They focus on the tasks you struggle with and find new, easier ways for you to do them. Their goal is to help everyone face different challenges and live life to the fullest, with as much independence as possible. This could mean teaching you new methods for everyday tasks or adjusting your surroundings to make things more manageable.
How can the Occupational Therapists help me?
An occupational therapist can help you in many ways, especially if you’re facing challenges with daily tasks due to physical disability, recovery from an illness or surgery, learning disabilities, mental health issues, or simply the changes that come with aging.
Here’s how they might assist you:
- Assessing Your Environment: They’ll look at your home, school, or workplace to find out what’s making certain tasks difficult for you.
- Finding New Ways: If there are activities you struggle with, they’ll explore different methods you can use to do them.
- Improving Skills: They can teach you new skills to handle daily tasks more easily.
- Adapting Your Surroundings: They might suggest changes to your environment to make things simpler and more accessible.
- Supporting Recovery: If you’re recovering from an illness or operation, they’ll help you regain your abilities and independence.
- Managing Conditions: They’ll offer strategies to manage your condition effectively, especially at work or in other settings.
Occupational therapists aim to empower you to live your life as fully and independently as possible, focusing on what matters most to you. They work with you to create a personalized plan that addresses your specific needs and goals. Whether it’s through training, equipment, or environmental modifications, their support is tailored to help you overcome obstacles and enhance your quality of life.

I’ve been well looked after by Rich. The longer appointment times help so don’t feel rushed or an inconvenience. I felt safe and was able to make my own decisions about how things went which is really important to me.
