Occupational Therapy Sessions

We support people with autism, ADHD, schizophrenia, anxiety, depression, mood and personality disorders, food avoidance and ARFID to build capacity and live meaningful, independent lives. Therapy is offered in blocks, and focuses on:

• Emotional regulation and managing difficult feelings

• Daily living skills like cooking, shopping, medication, and routines

• Social participation and community engagement

• Executive functioning, motivation, and goal setting

• Confidence, identity, and self-worth

• Food exploration, mealtime routines, meal preparation, and family strategies to minimise stress.

We take a trauma-informed, recovery-oriented approach, meeting people where they’re at, without judgment. Recovery isn’t always linear, and we’re here through every stage: ambivalence, action, relapse, and growth. We collaborate with participants, families, and stakeholders to support sustainable, person-led outcomes.

We support the development of essential life skills such as budgeting, meal preparation, managing life admin (like appointments and bills), and building executive functioning abilities including planning, organisation, time management, working memory, and decision-making. These skills are key to fostering greater independence, confidence, and everyday participation both on the home front and in the community.

We help people build practical skills for everyday life, including cooking, budgeting, managing appointments, gardening for sustainability, and time management. Our therapy supports development in activities of daily living (ADLs), household tasks, social and community participation, work readiness, leisure engagement, sleep hygiene, and creating sustainable routines that support independence and well-being.

Exploring and sourcing low-cost Assistive Technology equipment and devices to enhance independence i.e. built-up cutlery, one-handed tools, adaptive phones, kitchen trolleys, shower stools, electric beds, mobility scooters.

Play-based, child-led, neuroaffirming therapeutic sessions tailored to support participation at home, school, and beyond. Bespoke OT supports children with school refusal, chronic pain, emotional dysregulation, learning difficulties, mobility and communication challenges with functional skills for everyday life including feeding, dressing, hygiene, organisation, sensory processing, emotional regulation, and motor skills. We consult into schools around adapting tasks for curriculum access, recommending strategies for attention and sensory regulation, easing transitions and classroom routines, collaborating on Individualised Education Plans (IEPs), and promoting emotional resilience and self-esteem.

Recommendation and prescription of mobility aids and daily living supports i.e. wheelchairs, transfer aids, and adaptive kitchen tools—tailored to enhance safety, independence, and participation in everyday life. We assist with minor home modifications including access ramps, grab rails, and adaptive equipment.

Sensory differences can affect focus, behaviour, and participation across home, school, and community settings. At Bespoke OT, we offer comprehensive sensory assessments, personalised sensory regulation strategies, and strengths-based, practical therapy in real-life settings. Whether sensory-seeking, avoidant, or having difficulties with sensory modulation, Bespoke OT helps people to understand their sensory world and build skills to thrive. We collaborate with families, educators, and support teams to create calm, predictable, and supportive environments that honour individual sensory needs.
