I am an experienced occupational therapist, particularly in a community and primary care setting. Most of my experience has been working with clients in injury related assessment and rehabilitation working in concussion, pain management, return to work and training for independence programs as well as short and long term equipment provision. With a strong belief and passion for applying a preventative approach to health I have recently set up her own practice, combining skills and qualifications in education, health and wellbeing to offer a unique approach when helping others.
I aim to give people practical skills to apply and reuse long after I have stopped working alongside them. This includes modifiable lifestyle factors such as exercise, stress reduction, restorative sleep and emotional regulation. I have a particular interest in aging well and preventing chronic health conditions.
I have been developing skills through attending courses, and through supervision. I am a member of ACBS (Association for Contextual Behavioral Science) and continues to learn in the area of ACT (Acceptance Commitment Therapy), Motivational Interviewing and movement practices (clinical somatics) which can be applied in a mental health setting.
