Mental Health Occupational Therapy for Adults
Adult Mental Health Occupational Therapy
OUR THERAPIES provides mental health occupational therapy (OT) and psychotherapy for adults.
We take time to understand your experiences, relationships and daily life. Together, we explore what’s happening and what you want from therapy.
How We Work
Sessions may involve talking through experiences, emotions and relationship patterns, working on practical difficulties, or both.
We consider how you feel, what you do and the people and places around you. This can include understanding patterns, developing strategies or changing activities, expectations and surroundings.
Sometimes the work involves doing less, making room for rest or finding a different way to approach things.
Your needs and priorities guide the work. With your consent, we work alongside your GP, psychiatrist and other supports.

What We Can Work On
- Anxiety: understanding what contributes to it and how it affects your life.
- Depression or exhaustion: working through difficulties with energy, sleep, self-care and daily activities.
- Past experiences and trauma: exploring their effects on how you feel, relate to others and go about daily life.
- Emotions and relationships: understanding recurring patterns and exploring different responses.
- Planning and organisation: finding ways to start, organise and complete tasks.
- Routines and demands: adjusting activities, sensory demands and expectations to suit your needs.
You don’t need to have everything worked out before starting.
