Welcome to Therapy for Change

Whether you are experiencing a long term condition or a temporary change in circumstances, we can work with you in a range of ways so you have the right help at the right time.

Occupational Therapy

Activity (occupation) is central to the process of Occupational Therapy. We all have activities in life that are part of our daily routines, in our homes,in education, at work or in our community. Sometimes people struggle to do the activities they want, need or are expected to do because of,

  • Physical health conditions (e.g. Stroke, Falls, Cancer, Arthritis; Amputation; Fracture of upper/ lower limbs; COPD; Cardiopulmonary Disease)
  • Cognitive impairments (e.g. Attention or Memory problems; Acquired brain injury; Dementia) 
  • Mental Health conditions (e.g.Stress, Anxiety, Depression, Altered Body Image, Panic, Loss, Emotional Resilience)
  • Communication difficulties (e.g. Following stroke; selective mutism)
  • A learning disability or Developmental disorder (Autism, Asperger's)
  • Sensory Impairment (e.g. Visual / Hearing impaired; Sensory processing & integration difficulties)
  • Environmental factors  (Home, Work, Education, Your Community)  

We provide a comprehensive Occupational Therapy service for adults and will work with you to help you achieve your goals.

We can help you develop skills, modify tasks, help you consider how you may approach an activity differently and recommend equipment or

changes to the environment where you may live, work or socialise.

Occupational Therapy helps you to participate in your life as you choose.
