Mental Health Occupational Therapy
Psychosocial OT that focuses on function, helping people rebuild routines, coping, and participation in work and everyday life.
Mental health occupational therapy addresses how stress, burnout, anxiety, depression, trauma, or other psychosocial factors affect daily living and work.
Our approach is practical and person-centred: restoring meaningful activity, structure, and sustainable participation. It does not replace psychology or psychiatry; it complements multidisciplinary care.
