Occupational Therapy.
Occupational Therapy (OT) is science-based and regulated by the Health and Care Professionals Council so you can be confident in professional care that is person-centred and evidence-based.
Choosing Occupational Therapy for mental health offers distinct benefits. OTs consider the dynamic interaction between a person's internal and external worlds to promote engagement in daily life. This approach recognises the interplay between personal factors, roles, routines, environment, and occupations - encompassing everything from self-care and sleep to socialising and learning.
From understanding the science of the mind to creatively and holistically working with you as an individual, OTs help to overcome challenges to cultivate resilience and improve well-being.
With 1 in 3 people developing mental health problems by their mid-20s and a significant amount of young people being diagnosed with a mental health disorder, approaching mental health and wellbeing early is vital.
Through timely support, there is an opportunity to help build positive health outcomes for young people, helping them to realise their potential and mitigate the risk of future illness.
