IS FLOW OT FOR ME?

  • Areas of Specialism

    Occupational Therapists can work people experiencing a vast range of difficulties. My area of expertise is mental health including the following:

    Low motivation
    Eating difficulties / disorders
    Difficulties with self care
    Sleep pattern problems
    Agoraphobia /trouble leaving the house
    Hoarding and home management issues
    Low mood and depression
    Worry and anxiety
    Low confidence or self-esteem
    Preparing for changes (e.g.: moving out, going to uni, starting employment, experiencing loss)
    Increasing confidence and independence in everyday tasks

    I also work with those who have a diagnosis of, or suspected ADHD or Autism to help with routine establishment, organisation/prioritisation of activities, planning and personal management tasks.

  • Independence in life skills

    Occupational therapy (OT) is ideal for individuals seeking practical support to boost their confidence and skills in daily activities. These include:

    Cooking and managing food
    Travel training
    Money management
    Household tasks
    Personal care
    Community access

  • flow's remit

    I work with adults and young people aged 13 and up. You need to be registered with a GP and stable health-wise. If you are seeing a Secondary Care Provider in the NHS, please inform me (like Community Mental Health Teams, Italk, Steps to Wellbeing, NHS Eating Disorder Services, or Perinatal Mental Health Teams). Flow is a part-time, non-urgent service, so I cannot provide crisis support. While I can't treat trauma directly, I can help those who have experienced it using an Occupational Therapy approach.

  • Formal OT Assessments

    Some people need an assessment for applications or formal processes. These assessments examine how a person's condition impacts their daily activities and ability to engage in specific roles or tasks. After the assessment, recommendations can be made based on your needs. Examples include:

    Bus pass applications
    Workplace reports
    School reports
    Evidence for a PIP application
