About Therapy For Change

Therapy for Change provides Occupational Therapy & Cognitive Behavioural Therapy assessments and interventions for adults, individually tailored for your individual needs.

Compassionate Care

Welcome  me to your world. I have extensive experience working with a wide range of adults with complex needs & co-morbid conditions, within the NHS, Independent and Voluntary Sectors. I am an effective advocate, with tenacity, enthusiasm and a genuine desire to ensure your voice is heard.

Committed to Quality of Life

I am passionate about quality of life for adults, irrespective of diagnosis, ability or needs. I possess the experience and flexibility to establish and maintain partnerships across Health and Social care and other agencies, to ensure you receive a professional, comprehensive and integrated service.

Cost Effective Solutions

Fees are based on an hourly rate. I can offer you the option to spot purchase specific assessments and interventions or the choice of using the service for time limited projects.  I welcome the opportunity to discuss your particular requirements.
