Mental Health Occupational Therapy

Live with purpose and support

We empower you to strengthen your sense of identity, purpose, and independence. Support is tailored, respectful, and grounded in trauma-informed practice.

Partnering for practical recovery

Real-world support, your way

We take a client-oriented approach to mental health, focused on empowering you to live independently, maintain employment, and participate in social and community activities.

​

Our support is always client-centred. We believe that you are the expert in your own life, and we work with you to co-create a plan that reflects your goals, needs and preferences.

​

Together, you and your ActivOT Occupational Therapist will identify meaningful goals and develop a personalised intervention plan that helps reduce barriers to everyday functioning.

 

Our interventions are designed to:

​

  • Enhance your existing skills and strengths

  • Restore or remediate skills that have been impacted

  • Create positive, achievable experiences that build confidence

  • Provide practical psycho-education to promote well-being and prevent relapse

  • Use a graded approach tailored to your pace and readiness

​

Your plan will evolve as you do. We regularly review your progress and adjust activities to ensure you feel supported every step of the way.

FAQs

  • What is mobile occupational therapy?
    Mobile occupational therapy means we come to you at home, school, work, or anywhere you're comfortable. This approach allows for more personalised, practical support in your everyday environment. We prefer this approach because it means you don’t have to figure out how to make the therapy ‘work’ at home. Learn more about how mobile occupational therapy works with and for your life here.
  • Do you offer occupational therapy for adults and children?
    Yes, we support people across their lifespan. ActivOT practitioners offer paediatric occupational therapy, as well as for adults and older Australians, depending on the therapist's experience and interests. You can view your local therapist’s profile here.
