At Therapea Health, our occupational therapists provide personalised, evidence-based support to help children, adolescents, and adults reach their full potential. By focusing on practical skills and strategies, we empower clients to live more independently, participate fully in daily activities, and achieve their social, educational, and vocational goals.

​

Who We Help

​

Occupational therapy can benefit a wide range of people. At Therapea Health, we support:

​

• Children and adolescents with developmental delays, autism, ADHD, sensory processing difficulties, or learning challenges.
   

• Adults managing injury, illness, or disability that affects daily functioning.
   

• Individuals with physical, psychosocial, sensory, or cognitive impairments, including those adjusting to new diagnoses or ongoing conditions.
   

• Families seeking guidance and strategies to support a child or loved one at home, in school, or in the community.
   

Benefits of Occupational Therapy

​

Occupational therapy is designed to improve independence, confidence, and quality of life. Some of the key benefits include:

​

• Improved ability to perform everyday activities such as self-care, household tasks, and schoolwork
   

• Greater participation in social and community life
   

• Support with fine and gross motor skills
   

• Enhanced problem-solving and coping strategies
   

• Practical strategies for managing sensory sensitivities or behavioural challenges
   

• Goal-focused support that helps individuals thrive at home, at school, or in the workplace
   

By working closely with clients and their families, our occupational therapists design strategies that are practical, achievable, and meaningful.

​

Our Approach

​

Therapea Health’s occupational therapists use evidence-based practices to guide every stage of support. This includes:

​

• Ongoing weekly or fortnightly sessions that are particularly effective in children as part of early-intervention strategies

 

• Functional capacity assessments to evaluate current strengths and areas for development
   

• Collaborative goal setting to ensure therapy is relevant and personalised
   

• Tailored programs designed to enhance daily living skills, build independence, and achieve long-term aspirations
   

Therapy sessions are flexible and accessible, with options for in-clinic appointments, home visits, or telehealth meetings. This ensures clients can access support in the environment that works best for them.

​

​

What to Expect

​

• Initial Assessment – During the first consultation, the occupational therapist will assess current functional abilities and discuss goals with the client and their family or carers.
   

• Individualised Plan – A tailored therapy plan will be developed, outlining strategies and supports to build independence and confidence.
   

• Ongoing Support – Therapy may involve skill-building exercises, environmental modifications, or recommendations for assistive tools. Therapists also provide practical strategies for families and carers to continue supporting progress outside of sessions.
   

• Regular Reviews – Goals are revisited and updated to ensure ongoing progress and alignment with the client’s needs.
