Empowering Recovery Through Neuro Occupational Therapy

Since qualifying in 2006 I have developed a high level of experience working with clients with neurological impairments. I have attended BOBATH training courses along with cognitive rehabilitation workshops to further develop my skills within a neuro setting.

I have experience of working in stroke rehabilitation, general neuro-rehabilitation and neurobehavioral rehabilitation. Working within these areas has given me a vast amount of experience working with clients who vary in the complexity of their needs.

As an independent practitioner I am able to formulate specific treatment plans to meet individual needs and rehabilitation requirements ensuring that interventions are client focused and goal orientated.

As an independent practitioner I am able to provide a range of services including assessments and reports, goal-oriented therapy intervention, advice on home adaptations, equipment and manual handling. I am an effective communicator, and I have a high level of experience providing effective goal-oriented therapy planning and interventions specific to a client’s needs and abilities.

I am registered with the Health Professions Council and am a member of the British Association of Occupational Therapy and COTSS in neurological practice. I am also a member of Neuro Rehab Wales.

I have experience of attending and giving evidence at trial which has allowed me to gain court room skills. I also have plenty of experience in working collaboratively with other therapists as a member of multi disciplinary teams when required.

The OT Centre was established in June 2010. Initially focusing on neuro-rehabilitation to clients with acquired brain injury, the company’s services have grown to include assessment of aids & equipment, environmental access, seating assessments and training to carers and families, alongside functional assessments and rehabilitation packages to individuals with a range of impairments. As part of the OT Centre I worked with Neath and Port Talbot homes carrying out assessments for bathroom adaptations, I also provided impairment based rehabilitation and identified suitable compensatory approaches to rehabilitation as appropriate. I have provided treatment to clients to have complex cognitive impairments and subsequently increased their levels of functional independence.

I worked with a range of professionals in the statutory and independent sectors and continued to develop and consolidate my specialist skills in neurological rehabilitation.

Four 7 years, I worked as a qualified OT for the local health board including rotations in Singleton Hospital, Hill House Hospital, Morriston Hospital, Neath Port Talbot Hospital and in the community.

My passion for neuro occupational therapy stems from a desire to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those affected by brain injuries. Witnessing the resilience of my clients inspires me daily, and I am committed to helping them regain independence and improve their quality of life.

Rehabilitation is a crucial component of recovery for individuals who have experienced a brain injury. It not only aids in physical recovery but also supports mental and emotional well-being. Through personalized therapy sessions, clients can rebuild skills, regain confidence, and achieve greater autonomy in their daily lives. Our approach emphasizes holistic recovery, ensuring that each client receives comprehensive care tailored to their specific needs.
