Trained in both mental and physical health, an Occupational Therapist considers the person as a whole, helping them to overcome barriers and do the activities, or occupations, they want or need to lead a healthy and fulfilling life. An Occupational Therapist will consider not only the person but how their environment and social circumstances also impact on their function. Assessments and treatments focus on functional tasks and how you perform in real-life situations, with collaborative goal setting to work on the occupations that have the most importance and meaning to you. Occupational Therapy takes a holistic lifestyle view to managing health and wellbeing.
